How to remove the left side of this string?

My string is: 

$dst = "Folder_1\SubFolder_2\3\4\5"

My goal is to have:

$dst_OK = "SubFolder_2\3\4\5"

I tried use split function like this:

$dst_OK = $dst.split("\")[0]

but the result is Folder_1 only.

You can do it with this snippet:

$first, $rest = "Folder_1\SubFolder_2\3\4\5" -split '\\'
$rest = $rest -join '\'

You could use the following regex to remove the left side of the string:

$dst_OK = $dst -replace '^.*?\\'

However, since it looks like you are dealing with a path, you may consider to using builtin function within the System.IO.Path namespace.
