Description

The Remove-AzResourceGroup cmdlet removes an Azure resource group and its resources from the current subscription. To delete a resource, but leave the resource group, use the Remove-AzResource cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a resource group

Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name "ContosoRG01"

This command removes the ContosoRG01 resource group from the subscription. The cmdlet prompts you for confirmation and returns no output.

Example 2: Remove a resource group without confirmation

Get-AzResourceGroup -Name "ContosoRG01" | Remove-AzResourceGroup -Force

This command uses the Get-AzResourceGroup cmdlet to get the resource group ContosoRG01, and then passes it to Remove-AzResourceGroup by using the pipeline operator. The Force parameter suppresses the confirmation prompt.

Example 3: Remove all resource groups

Get-AzResourceGroup | Remove-AzResourceGroup

This command uses the Get-AzResourceGroup cmdlet to get all resource groups, and then passes them to Remove-AzResourceGroup by using the pipeline operator.
