Removing vSphere Distributed Switches

To remove a vSphere Distributed Switch, you can use the Remove-VDSwitch cmdlet. This cmdlet has the following syntax:

Remove-VDSwitch [-VDSwitch] <VDSwitch[]> [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

In the next example, we will remove the vSphere Distributed Switch VDSwitch1:

PowerCLI C:\> Get-VDSwitch -Name VDSwitch1 |
>> Remove-VDSwitch -Confirm:$false
>>
