Powershell: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null

This may be something so easy but I cannot figure out why its not working. See below:

$regPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Enrollments\" + $idString

$regPath

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ComputerName {Remove-Item -Path $regPath -Force -Verbose}

I am essentially trying to remove a registry entry under a particular path. When I output $regPath and copy & paste it manually into the path parameter, it accepts it and runs as normal. Despite this, when I want to provide the variable with the same path, it produces the error in the title - appears to be null. I have checked the documentation and it says -path is a String...which the information I am providing is. I'm really not sure why it is not accepting it.

`$regPath` doesn't exist on the remote machine. Do `{Remove-Item -Path $using:regPath -Force -Verbose}` to instruct PowerShell to copy the variable to the remote scope – Mathias R. Jessen Jul 08 '22 at 11:33
Thank you. Still trying to learn powershell – mcgirlja Jul 08 '22 at 20:50
