[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Remove-CMOperatingSystemImage cmdlet removes one or more operating system images from a Configuration Manager site.

After you remove an operating system image, you cannot distribute the operating system image to distribution points.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
