Example

In this example, the Remove-StorageGroup cmdlet is used to remove the storage group named "Storage Group 3."

Remove-StorageGroup -Identity "Exchange-Server-1.Contoso.com\Storage Group 3"

A storage group's log files are not removed when you remove the storage group. If you want to remove the storage group's log files, they must be removed from your computer manually.
