Remove specific user from ACL via Powershell

Question

_{Wednesday, April 20, 2016 8:48 AM}

Hi all,

I need to recursively remove a user from ACL on a folder and its child objects.

Searching on Internet, I found how to remove user's permission, but not how to remove user from ACL.

Ie, I'm searching to the equivalent in powershell of the action "Delete" on a user in a folder ACL :

Thank you for your help.

Have a good day.
