Description

The Remove-AzResource cmdlet removes an Azure resource.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a website resource

Remove-AzResource -ResourceId "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/ResourceGroup11/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/ContosoSite" -Force

This command removes the website resource named ContosoSite. The example uses a placeholder value for the subscription ID. The command specifies the Force parameter. Therefore, it does not prompt you for confirmation.
