Syntax

Remove-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace
      [-ResourceGroupName] <String>
      [-Name] <String>
      [-ForceDelete]

      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Remove-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace cmdlet deletes an existing workspace. If this workspace was linked to an existing account via the CustomerId parameter at creation time the original account is not deleted in the Operational Insights portal.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a workspace by name

Remove-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace -ResourceGroupName "ContosResourceGroup" -Name "MyWorkspace"

This command removes the workspace named MyWorkspace from the resource group named ContosoResourceGroup.

Example 2: Remove a workspace by using the pipeline and without confirmation

Get-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace -ResourceGroupName "ContosResourceGroup" -Name "MyWorkspace" | Remove-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace -Force

This command uses the Get-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace cmdlet to get the workspace named MyWorkspace, and then passes it to the Remove-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace cmdlet by using the pipeline operator to remove it. Since the Force parameter is specified, the command does not prompt you before removing the workspace.

Example 3: Force delete workspace (cannot be recovered)

$workspace = New-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace -ResourceGroupName "RG-NAME" -Name "WORKSPACE-NAME" -Location "REGION-VALUE"
$workspace | Remove-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace -ForceDelete

Force delete a workspace.
