Remove-PSBreakpoint
Deletes breakpoints from the current console.
Syntax
Remove-PSBreakpoint
[-Breakpoint] <Breakpoint[]>

Description
The Remove-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet deletes a breakpoint. Enter a breakpoint object or a breakpoint ID.
When you remove a breakpoint, the breakpoint object is no longer available or functional. If you have saved a breakpoint object in a variable, the reference still exists, but the breakpoint does not function.
Remove-PSBreakpoint
is one of several cmdlets designed for debugging PowerShell scripts. For more
information about the PowerShell debugger, see
about_Debuggers.
Examples
Example 1: Remove all breakpoints
This command deletes all of the breakpoints in the current console.
Get-PSBreakpoint | Remove-PSBreakpoint
Example 2: Remove a specified breakpoint
This command deletes a breakpoint.
$B = Set-PSBreakpoint -Script "sample.ps1" -Variable "Name"
$B | Remove-PSBreakpoint
The Set-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet creates a breakpoint on the $Name
variable in the Sample.ps1
script and saves the breakpoint object in the $B
variable. The Remove-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet
deletes the new breakpoint. It uses a pipeline operator (|
) to send the breakpoint object in the
$B
variable to the Remove-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet.
As a result of this command, if you run the script, it runs to completion without stopping. Also,
the Get-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet does not return this breakpoint.
Example 3: Remove a breakpoint by ID
This command deletes the breakpoint with breakpoint ID 2.
Remove-PSBreakpoint -Id 2
Example 4: Use a function to remove all breakpoints
This simple function deletes all the breakpoints in the current session.
function del-psb { Get-PSBreakpoint | Remove-PSBreakpoint }
It uses the Get-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet to get the breakpoints. Then, it uses a pipeline operator
(|
) to send the breakpoints to the Remove-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet, which deletes them.
Example 5: Remove a breakpoint in a runspace
In this example, a job is started and a breakpoint is set to break when the Set-PSBreakPoint
is
run. The runspace is stored in a variable and passed to the Get-PSBreakPoint
command with the
Runspace parameter. The output of Get-PSBreakPoint
is piped to Remove-PSBreakpoint
to
remove the breakpoint in the runspace.
Start-Job -ScriptBlock {
Set-PSBreakpoint -Command Start-Sleep
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
}
$runspace = Get-Runspace -Id 1
Get-PSBreakPoint -Runspace $runspace | Remove-Breakpoint -Runspace $runspace
Parameters
