Parameters
1Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
Identity | Required | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPPrefixPipeBind | Specifies the name of the managed path to delete. For example, in the URL http://sitename/sites/site1, "sites" is the name of the managed path. | ||
WebApplication | Required | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.WebApplicationPipeBind | Specifies the identity of the Web application that hosts the managed path to delete. The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid Web application name (for example, WebApplication1212); or a valid name, in the form WebApp2423. | ||
AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
| ||
Confirm | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters | ||
WhatIf | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters |
