Examples

1: Remove a specific hardware profile from the library. 
PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01"}
PS C:\> Remove-SCHardwareProfile -HardwareProfile $HWProfile -Confirm

The first command gets the hardware profile object named NewHWProfile01 from the VMM library and stores the object in the $HWProfile variable.

The second command deletes NewHWProfle01 from the library, prompting the user for confirmation before completing the operation.
2: Remove all hardware profiles without being prompted to confirm each deletion. 
PS C:\> Get-SCHardwareProfile | Remove-SCHardwareProfile

This command gets all hardware profile objects in the library and passes each profile object to the Remove-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet, which removes each hardware profile. By not using the Confirm parameter, you will not be prompted to confirm whether you want to delete these hardware profile objects.
