# Remove-BannedWord

The `Remove-BannedWord` cmdlet takes a string of text, applies the [normalization rules](/password-protection/v1.0/help-and-support/normalization-rules.md) to it, and removes it from the banned word store. If the normalized word is not present in the store, this cmdlet does nothing.

## Syntax

```
Remove-BannedWord -Value <string>

Remove-BannedWord -SecureString <SecureString>
```

### Parameters

**`Value`**

Required. The string of text to remove from the store. [Normalization rules](/password-protection/v1.0/help-and-support/normalization-rules.md) will be applied to the string.

**`SecureString`**

Required. The string of text to remove from the store as a secure string object. [Normalization rules](/password-protection/v1.0/help-and-support/normalization-rules.md) will be applied to the string.

### Examples

The following example removes a single banned word from the store

```powershell
Remove-BannedWord -Value "password"
```

The following example prompts for a word to be removed from the store

```powershell
Remove-BannedWord -SecureString (Read-Host -Prompt "Enter the banned word to remove from the store" -AsSecureString)
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/password-protection/v1.0/advanced-help/powershell-reference/remove-bannedword.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
