[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Remove-NetIPAddress cmdlet removes an IP address and its configuration. To remove a specific IP address object, use the IPv4 Address parameter or IPv6 Address parameter. If you do not specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address, the cmdlet will remove all IP addresses that match.
Examples
Example 1: Remove an IP address
PS C:\>New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -IPAddress 192.168.0.1
This command removes the IP address created by the previous command.
PS C:\>Remove-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.0.1This command adds a new IP address.
Example 2: Remove an IP address using a pipeline
PS C:\>Get-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.0.1 | Remove-NetIPAddressThis command removes all of the IP addresses with the address 192.168.0.1.
Example 3: Remove IP addresses by prefix origin
PS C:\>Remove-NetIPAddress -PrefixOrigin ManualThis command removes all of the IP addresses that have a manually-configured prefix origin.
Parameters

IP address configuration information for addresses for which a duplicate IP address has been detected and the current IP address will not be used. -- Deprecated. IP address configuration information for addresses that will no longer be used to establish new connections, but will continue to be used with existing connections. -- Preferred. IP address configuration information for addresses that are valid and available for use.
