Module:: ExchangePowerShell

Applies to:: Security & Compliance

This cmdlet is available only in Security & Compliance PowerShell. For more information, see Security & Compliance PowerShell.

Use the Remove-RetentionComplianceRule cmdlet to remove retention rules from the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Remove-RetentionComplianceRule
      [-Identity] <PolicyIdParameter>
      [-Confirm]
      [-ForceDeletion]
      [-WhatIf]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Removing a retention rule causes the release of all Exchange mailbox and SharePoint site retentions that are associated with the rule. Removing a retention rule also causes the corresponding retention policy to become invalid, so you should remove it by using the Remove-RetentionCompliancePolicy cmdlet.

To use this cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell, you need to be assigned permissions. For more information, see Permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

Examples

Example 1

Remove-RetentionComplianceRule -Identity "One Year Standard"

This example removes the retention rule named "One Year Standard".

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
