Synopsis

Deletes an existing resource from an HPE OneView appliance by sending an HTTP DELETE to the resource’s URI.

​
Syntax

Remove-OVResource
    [-InputObject] <Object>
    [-Force]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

​
Description

Remove-OVResource is a low-level cmdlet that performs an HTTP DELETE on the URI embedded in the resource object ($InputObject.uri). It is the underlying mechanism used by higher-level Remove-OV* cmdlets. The input object must have a .uri property pointing to the resource’s REST URI — all objects returned by Get-OV* cmdlets include this property.
This operation is permanent and cannot be undone. Ensure you have the correct resource before proceeding. Some resources may have dependencies that prevent deletion; use -Force to override dependency checks when supported.

​
Parameters

​
InputObject
Object
required
The resource object to delete. Accepts pipeline input. Aliases: Resource, ro, nameOruri, uri, name. Must contain a .uri property.
​
Force
Switch
Appends ?force=true to the DELETE request URI, allowing deletion of resources that would otherwise be blocked by dependency checks.
​
ApplianceConnection
Object
The appliance connection object or name. Alias: Appliance. Defaults to the default connection in $ConnectedSessions.

​
Examples

​
Delete a resource object

$network = Get-OVNetwork -Name 'Dev-VLAN-200'
Remove-OVResource -InputObject $network

​
Delete via pipeline

Get-OVNetwork -Name 'Old-Network' | Remove-OVResource

​
Force deletion

$resource = Get-OVScope -Name 'DeprecatedScope'
Remove-OVResource -InputObject $resource -Force

​
Delete across multiple appliances

Get-OVNetwork -Name 'TestNetwork' -ApplianceConnection $ConnectedSessions | Remove-OVResource

​
Output

Returns nothing on success. For asynchronous deletions, returns an HPEOneview.Appliance.TaskResource that can be passed to Wait-OVTaskComplete.
