PowerShell cmdLet Remove-ItemProperty

Example: removing a value under a registry key

The following simple example uses new-item to create a registry key, then adds three values to that key and pauses (read-host) to check the registry.

After hitting enter, the value xyz is removed and the script pauses again to verify that the value was indeed remove.

Finally, the registry key is removed with remove-item.

$regKey = 'hkcu:\Software\tq84_removeItemTest'

$null = new-item $regKey

set-itemProperty $regKey  num   42
set-itemProperty $regKey  txt  'Hello world'
set-itemProperty $regKey  xyz  'Foo, bar, baz'

read-host 'Registry key and values created.'

remove-itemProperty $regKey xyz

read-host 'Value "xyz" removed.'

remove-item $regKey
