Description

The Remove-AzureRmPolicyDefinition cmdlet removes a policy definition.

Examples

Example 1: Remove the policy definition by name

PS C:\> Remove-AzureRmPolicyDefinition -Name 'VMPolicyDefinition'

This command removes the specified policy definition.

Example 2: Remove policy definition by resource ID

PS C:\> $PolicyDefinition = Get-AzureRmPolicyDefinition -Name 'VMPolicyDefinition' 
PS C:\> Remove-AzureRmPolicyDefinition -Id $PolicyDefinition.ResourceId -Force

The first command gets a policy definition named VMPolicyDefinition by using the Get-AzureRmPolicyDefinition cmdlet. The command stores it in the $PolicyDefinition variable. The second command removes the policy definition identified by the ResourceId property of $PolicyDefinition.
