Description

The Remove-AzDnsRecordSet cmdlet deletes the specified record set from the specified zone. You cannot delete SOA or name server (NS) records that are automatically created at the zone apex. You can pass a RecordSet object to this cmdlet by using the pipeline operator or as a parameter. To identify a record set by name and type without using a RecordSet object, you must pass the zone as a DnsZone object to this cmdlet by using the pipeline operator or as a parameter, or alternatively you can specify the ZoneName and ResourceGroupName parameters. You can use the Confirm parameter and $ConfirmPreference Windows PowerShell variable to control whether the cmdlet prompts you for confirmation. When specifying the record set using a RecordSet object, the record set is not deleted if it has been changed in Azure DNS since the local RecordSet object was retrieved. This provides protection for concurrent changes. You can suppress this by using the Overwrite parameter, which deletes the record set regardless of concurrent changes.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a record set

$RecordSet = Get-AzDnsRecordSet -Name "www" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -ZoneName "myzone.com"
Remove-AzDnsRecordSet -RecordSet $RecordSet

The first command gets the specified record set, and then stores it in the $RecordSet variable.The second command removes the record set in $RecordSet.

Example 2: Remove a record set and suppress all confirmation

$RecordSet = Get-AzDnsRecordSet -Name "www" -ZoneName "myzone.com" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup"
Remove-AzDnsRecordSet -RecordSet $RecordSet -Confirm:$False -Overwrite

# Alternatively, the record set can be removed as follows.  In this case,
# because the record set is specified by name rather than by object, the
# Overwrite parameter is not applicable.

Remove-AzDnsRecordSet -Name "www" -ZoneName "myzone.com" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Confirm:$False

The first command gets the specified record set. The second command deletes the record set, even if it has changed in the meantime. Confirmation prompts are suppressed.

Notes

You can use the Confirm parameter to control whether this cmdlet prompts you for confirmation. By default, the cmdlet prompts you for confirmation if the $ConfirmPreference Windows PowerShell variable has a value of Medium or lower. If you specify Confirm or Confirm:$True, this cmdlet prompts you for confirmation before it runs. If you specify Confirm:$False, the cmdlet does not prompt you for confirmation.
