Remove-Member

SYNOPSIS

Removes specified members (properties) from an object.

SYNTAX

Remove-Member [-InputObject] <Object> [-Name] <String[]> [-PassThru] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]

DESCRIPTION

The Remove-Member function removes specified members (properties) from objects passed through the pipeline. If the specified properties exist, they are removed; otherwise, a verbose message is displayed. When the -PassThru switch is used, the modified object is returned.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

$obj = [PSCustomObject]@{Name="John"; Age=30; City="New York"}
$obj | Remove-Member -Name "Age" -PassThru

Output:

Removes the "Age" property from the PSCustomObject and returns the modified object.
