Edited Issue: Checking Index component - fail [20230]

Experienced a fail during a 2013 installation. Had previously installed on the same server, uninstalled SP2013 and deleted DB's. When reinstalling script failed at creating the Search Index as files from the previous installation still existed.

_System.Management.Automation.ParameterBindingException: Cannot bind parameter 'RootDirectory'
to the target. Exception setting "RootDirectory": "___New index location must be empty___" --->
System.Management.Automation.SetValueInvocationException: Exception setting "RootDirectory":
"New index location must be empty" ---> System.ArgumentException: New index location must be
empty_

Fix is probably just a simple case of checking for any existing files in the location, and if exist delete, prior to creating ??
