Removing a Windows Virtual Desktop Workspace with PowerShell

In this article, we will discuss the process of removing a workspace from the Windows Virtual Desktop environment using PowerShell. This topic is important for Windows administrators who need to manage and maintain their virtual desktop infrastructure efficiently. By understanding how to remove workspaces using PowerShell, administrators can easily decommission virtual desktops and free up resources for other purposes.

Examples:

To remove a workspace from the Windows Virtual Desktop environment, follow these steps:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.

2. Import the Windows Virtual Desktop module by running the following command:

   Import-Module -Name Microsoft.RDInfra.RDPowerShell

3. Connect to your Windows Virtual Desktop environment using the following command:

   Add-RdsAccount -DeploymentUrl "https://rdbroker.wvd.microsoft.com"

4. List all the workspaces in your environment to identify the workspace you want to remove:

   Get-RdsWorkspace

5. Once you have identified the workspace, use the following command to remove it:

   Remove-RdsWorkspace -TenantName "YourTenantName" -HostPoolName "YourHostPoolName" -Name "YourWorkspaceName"

Replace "YourTenantName" with the name of your tenant, "YourHostPoolName" with the name of your host pool, and "YourWorkspaceName" with the name of the workspace you want to remove.

6. Confirm the removal by typing "Y" when prompted.

By following these steps, you can easily remove a workspace from your Windows Virtual Desktop environment using PowerShell.
