Description
The Unregister-ScheduledJob
cmdlet deletes scheduled jobs from the local computer.
When it deletes or unregisters a scheduled job, Unregister-ScheduledJob
deletes the directory for
the scheduled job (in the
$HOME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\ScheduledJobs directory
), which contains the XML
file that defines the scheduled job, the job execution history, and all job results. This action
also deletes the job from Task Scheduler.
Unregister-ScheduledJob
deletes only the scheduled jobs that are created by using the
Register-ScheduledJob
cmdlet. It does not delete scheduled jobs that are created in Task
Scheduler.
You can use the parameters of Unregister-ScheduledJob
to delete scheduled jobs by ID or name, or
pipe scheduled jobs from Get-ScheduledJob
to Unregister-ScheduledJob
.
Unregister-ScheduledJob
is one of a collection of job scheduling cmdlets in the PSScheduledJob
module that is included in Windows PowerShell.
For more information about Scheduled Jobs, see the About topics in the PSScheduledJob module. Import
the PSScheduledJob module and then type: Get-Help about_Scheduled*
or see about_Scheduled_Jobs.
This cmdlet was introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
Examples
Example 1: Delete a scheduled job
Unregister-ScheduledJob TestJob
This command deletes the TestJob scheduled job on the local computer.
Example 2: Delete all scheduled jobs
Get-ScheduledJob | Unregister-ScheduledJob -Force
Unregister-ScheduledJob -Name "*" -Force
This example shows two different commands that delete all scheduled jobs on the local computer.
The first command uses the Get-ScheduledJob
cmdlet to get all scheduled jobs on the local
computer. A pipeline operator (|
) sends the scheduled jobs to Unregister-ScheduleJob
, which
deletes them.
The second command uses the Name parameter of Unregister-ScheduledJob
with a value of all
(*
) to delete all scheduled jobs.
Both commands use the Force parameter, which deletes a scheduled job even if an instance of the job is running.
Example 3: Delete a scheduled job on a remote computer
Invoke-Command -ComputerName "Server01" { Unregister-ScheduledJob -Name "Test*"}
This command deletes scheduled jobs with names that begin with Test on the Server01 remote computer.
The command uses the Invoke-Command
cmdlet to run the Unregister-ScheduledJob
command on the
Server02 computer.
