Detailed Description

The Remove-DfsnRoot cmdlet removes a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace. When you remove a namespace, you remove all the folders in the namespace. Users cannot use the DFS namespace folders after you remove the namespace. This cmdlet does not delete the folders specified by DFS namespace targets or the files in those folders.

For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc730736) on TechNet.
