Answer 1

I can't reproudce the issue that you mentioned. I test with following code,you could refer to it.

$PublishingUsername = "`$userName"

$publishingPassword = "password"

$apiUrl = "https://webAppName.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/command"

$json = @"
{
    "command": 'powershell.exe -command `"get-childitem * -recurse | remove-item -force`"',
    "dir" : 'site\\wwwroot'
 }
"@

$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $PublishingUsername, $publishingPassword)))

$Result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)}  -Method Post -Body $json -ContentType "application/json"

Test Result: I aslo check the kudu console that, all of the items under the folder site\wwwroot are deleted.
