Detailed Description
The Remove-SPWOPIBinding cmdlet removes bindings for applications, file name extensions, and their associated actions on the current SharePoint farm where this cmdlet is run. After you run this cmdlet, you can use New-SPWOPIBinding to re-create the bindings as needed. If you remove all the bindings for an application, users cannot use Office Web Apps or the SharePoint Share by link feature for that application. If you remove all the bindings on the SharePoint farm where this cmdlet is run, users cannot use Office Web Apps or the SharePoint Share by link feature for any applications in the SharePoint library.
If you want to stop using Office Web Apps for default clicks, but must preserve the bindings’ discovery information and the ability for users to use the SharePoint Share by link feature to send a link to a document and allow the recipient to use Office Web Apps for that document type, use the New-SPWOPISuppression cmdlet instead.
