Not able to delete DocumentSets using Powershell

Question

I am trying to delete all content from site (list/folder/documentset). However, I am getting error while deleting couple of document sets.

#docsetFolder is an object of Document set which is correct.
for($x=$docsetFolder.Files.Count-1;$x -ge 0; $x--)
{                                                                                                                                                                                      
$listItem = $docsetFolder.Files[$x].Item;
$file = $listItem.File;
if($file -ne $Null)
{
$name = $file.CheckedOutByUser;
if($name -ne $Null) #IF checkout by some one then Undo Checkout.                                   
{   $file.UndoCheckOut();
}
    $file.Delete();
}                                                           
}                                                                             
}                                                                                                                                                                  
$docsetFolder.Delete(); #This line gives error

ErrorException calling "Delete" with "0" argument(s): "The file "/bu/abc/private/Shared Documents/xxx.docx" is checked out for editing by ."

Though, all file inside documentset got deleted, but while deleting document set I am getting error and document set not getting delete. Few DocumentSets are getting deleted in the same library.

Answer 1

There are probably files with no checked-in version. Can you navigate to the target library

library -> Library Settings -> Manage files which have no checked-in version

Please check if that page shows any files. If yes, then you can take ownership of those files and delete them from UI. The same can be accomplished via object model/powershell. If you are using powershell this link may help.
