   I have a directory d:\data\lab.  Inside Lab different directories and subdirectories.  each directory and subdirectory contains *.txt file.  

I want to write a powershell command which will empty content of all the txt files which are inside d:\data\lab

I am using bellow command

 Clear-Content D:\data\Lab\* -Filter *.txt

I tried so many permutation and combination, but its not removing content of text files which are inside d:\data\lab folder.

Can anybody help?
