# Remove-Resource

### Description

The `Remove-Resource` cmdlet deletes an object or objects from the FIM Service. The `ResourceObjects` parameter can be used to pass in an array of resource objects to delete, which will be performed as a single composite request. Note, that if using the pipeline to perform the operation, PowerShell will pass the objects to the cmdlet one at a time, and a composite operation will not be performed.

### Syntax

```
Remove-Resource -ID <object> 
```

```
Remove-Resource -ResourceObjects <PSObject[]> 
```

### Parameters

**ID**

The ID of the object to delete

**ResourceObjects**

One or more ResourceObjects returned from [Get-Resource](/resource-management-powershell/v1.0/usage/cmdlet-reference/get-resource.md) or [Search-Resources](/resource-management-powershell/v1.0/usage/cmdlet-reference/search-resources.md) to delete

### Examples

```powershell
# Delete a resource by its object ID
Remove-Resource -ID 4107f14e-e73d-479c-87bd-5293d314a260

# Get a Person using its AccountName attribute, and delete it
Get-Resource -ObjectType Person -AttributeName AccountName -AttributeValue testuser | Remove-Resource

# Delete all email templates one at a time
Search-Resources -Xpath "/EmailTemplate" | Remove-Resource

# Delete all email templates as a composite operation
$resources = Search-Resources -Xpath "/EmailTemplate"
Remove-Resource $resources
```

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/resource-management-powershell/v1.0/usage/cmdlet-reference/remove-resource.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
