Remove-BitsTransfer

Remove-BitsTransfer

Cancels a Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) transfer job.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Remove-BitsTransfer [-BitsJob] <BitsJob[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Remove-BitsTransfer cmdlet cancels a BITS transfer job. It deletes the underlying transfer job, removes any temporary files from the client, and deletes the associated BitsJob object.

When the Remove-BitsTransfer cmdlet cancels a transfer job, it deletes all the transfers. Consider a scenario is which you are transferring three files. One file is completely transferred, one file is pending, and one file is currently being transferred. In this scenario, Remove-BitsTransfer cancels the whole transfer and deletes the underlying files. Any files that were already transferred will not be available after you use the Remove-BitsTransfer cmdlet to cancel the transfer job. Optionally, you can use a Complete-BitsTransfer command to commit any files that are completely downloaded and to cancel the pending and current transfers. The transferred file would not be deleted and would be available.

Parameters

-BitsJob<BitsJob[]>

Specifies the BITS transfer jobs to cancel. You can pipe a value to this parameter from other cmdlets that return BitsJob objects, such as Get-BitsTransfer.

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

  • Microsoft.BackgroundIntelligentTransfer.Management.BitsJob[]

    This cmdlet accepts one or more BitsJob objects as input that populates the BitsJob parameter.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • None

    This cmdlet does not generate any output.

Notes

  • After a job is removed (canceled) or completed, any job objects that were previously cached in variables or in scripts are no longer valid.

Examples

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------

This command cancels all the BITS transfer jobs that are owned by the current user.

The output of the Get-BitsTransfer cmdlet is piped to the Remove-BitsTransfer cmdlet. The output is a set of BitsJob objects.

C:\PS>Get-BitsTransfer | Remove-BitsTransfer

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------

This command cancels all the BITS transfer jobs on the computer.

The first command retrieves all the BitsJob objects on the computer and then stores them in the $b variable.

The second command uses the BitsJob parameter to pass the BitsJob objects that are stored in the $b variable to the Remove-BitsTransfer cmdlet.

C:\PS>$b = Get-BitsTransfer -AllUsers
PS C:\> Remove-BitsTransfer -BitsJob $b
