Description

The Remove-AzKeyVault cmdlet deletes the specified key vault. It also deletes all keys and secrets contained in that instance. Note that although specifying the resource group is optional for this cmdlet, you should so for better performance.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a key vault

Remove-AzKeyVault -VaultName "Contoso03Vault" -PassThru

True

This command removes the key vault named Contoso03Vault from your current subscription.

Example 2: Remove a key vault from a specified resource group

Remove-AzKeyVault -Name "Contoso03Vault" -ResourceGroupName "Group14" -PassThru
