Description

The Remove-WindowsImage cmdlet deletes the specified volume image from a WIM file that has multiple volume images. This cmdlet deletes only the metadata entries and XML entries. It does not delete the stream data and does not optimize the WIM file.

This command-line option does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.

Examples

Example 1: Remove the first image from a WIM file

PS C:\> Remove-WindowsImage -ImagePath "c:\imagestore\custom.wim" -Index 1 -CheckIntegrity

This command removes the first image in c:\imagestore\custom.wim.

Example 2: Remove an image from a WIM file by name

PS C:\> Remove-WindowsImage -ImagePath "c:\imagestore\custom.wim" -Name "Starter" -CheckIntegrity

This command removes the image named Starter that is located in c:\imagestore\custom.wim.

Parameters

-CheckIntegrity

Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with the Add-WindowsImage, Dismount-WindowsImage, or Save-WindowsImage cmdlet. CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with the Expand-WindowsImage or Mount-WindowsImage cmdlet.

-LogLevel

Specifies the maximum output level shown in the logs. The default log level is 3. The accepted values are as follows:

  • 1 = Errors only

-LogPath

Specifies the full path and file name to log to. If not set, the default is %WINDIR%\Logs\Dism\dism.log. In Windows PE, the default directory is the RAMDISK scratch space which can be as low as 32 MB. The log file will automatically be archived. The archived log file will be saved with .bak appended to the file name and a new log file will be generated. Each time the log file is archived the .bak file will be overwritten. When using a network share that is not joined to a domain, use the net use command together with domain credentials to set access permissions before you set the log path for the DISM log.

-ScratchDirectory

Specifies a temporary directory that will be used when extracting files for use during servicing. The directory must exist locally. If not specified, the \Windows\%Temp% directory will be used, with a subdirectory name of a randomly generated hexadecimal value for each run of DISM. Items in the scratch directory are deleted after each operation. You should not use a network share location as a scratch directory to expand a package (.cab or .msu file) for installation. The directory used for extracting files for temporary usage during servicing should be a local directory.
