Description

The Remove-VM cmdlet deletes a virtual machine. Running this cmdlet deletes the virtual machine's configuration file, but does not delete any virtual hard drives. If the virtual machine has any snapshots, these are deleted and merged into the virtual hard disk files after the virtual machine is deleted.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Remove-VM "new 1"
Confirm: Are you sure you want to remove virtual machine "new 1"?
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): y

Removes virtual machine new 1.

Example 2

Remove-VM -Name "new 2" -Force

Removes virtual machine new 2, suppressing the confirmation prompt.

Example 3

Get-VM -Name New* | Remove-VM -Force

Removes with no confirmation prompt all virtual machines having names starting with New.
