Description

The Remove-AzureRmVirtualNetwork cmdlet removes an Azure virtual network.

Examples

1: Create and delete a virtual network

New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name TestResourceGroup -Location centralus
    $frontendSubnet = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name frontendSubnet 
    -AddressPrefix "10.0.1.0/24"
    $backendSubnet = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name backendSubnet -AddressPrefix 
    "10.0.2.0/24"

New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name MyVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName TestResourceGroup 
    -Location centralus -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/16" -Subnet $frontendSubnet,$backendSubnet
    
Remove-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name MyVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName TestResourceGroup

This example creates a virtual network in a resource group and then immediately deletes it. To suppress the prompt when deleting the virtual network, use the -Force flag.
