Remove-HostedContentFilterPolicy

Reference

Module:: ExchangePowerShell

Applies to:: Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection

This cmdlet is available only in the cloud-based service.

Use the Remove-HostedContentFilterPolicy cmdlet to remove spam filter policies (content filter policies) from your cloud-based organization.

When a policy is removed and there are rules associated with it, the rules are not removed when the policy is removed. This is by design. If you want to remove the associated rules, you need to do this separately via the Remove-HostedContentFilterRule cmdlet.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Remove-HostedContentFilterPolicy
      [-Identity] <HostedContentFilterPolicyIdParameter>
      [-Confirm]
      [-WhatIf]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Remove-HostedContentFilterPolicy "Contoso Content Filter Policy"

This example removes the spam filter policy named Contoso Content Filter Policy.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
