Description

The Remove-SMBShare cmdlet deletes one or more Server Message Block (SMB) shares.

Removing an SMB share forcibly disconnects all of the existing connections to the share. Use this cmdlet with caution. Clients that are forcibly disconnected from a share will not have an opportunity to flush locally cached data before being disconnected, which may result in data loss. The Get-SmbSession cmdlet may be used to determine if users are connected to a share.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>Remove-SmbShare -Name Data
Confirm 
Are you sure you want to perform this action? 
Performing operation 'Remove-Share' on Target 'Contoso-FS,Data'. 
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"):

This example deletes the SMB share named Data.

EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\>Remove-SmbShare -Name VMFiles -ScopeName Contoso-SO -Force

This example deletes the SMB share named VMFiles without user confirmation.
