Remove-PSDrive

Short description
Deletes temporary Windows PowerShell drives and disconnects mapped network drives.

Syntax


Description
The Remove-PSDrive cmdlet deletes temporary Windows PowerShell drives that were created by using the New-PSDrive 
cmdlet.


Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, Remove-PSDrive also disconnects mapped network drives, including, but not limited 
to, drives created by using the Persist parameter of New-PSDrive.


Remove-PSDrive cannot delete Windows physical or logical drives.


Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, when an external drive is connected to the computer, Windows PowerShell 
automatically adds a PSDrive to the file system that represents the new drive. You do not need to restart Windows 
PowerShell. Similarly, when an external drive is disconnected from the computer, Windows PowerShell automatically 
deletes the PSDrive that represents the removed drive.
