Description
The Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet deletes a breakpoint. Enter a breakpoint object or a breakpoint ID.
When you remove a breakpoint, the breakpoint object is no longer available or functional. If you have saved a breakpoint object in a variable, the reference still exists, but the breakpoint does not function.
Remove-PSBreakpoint is one of several cmdlets designed for debugging Windows PowerShell scripts. For more information about the Windows PowerShell debugger, see about_Debuggers.
Parameters
-Breakpoint <Breakpoint[]>
Specifies the breakpoints to delete. Enter a variable that contains breakpoint objects or a command that gets breakpoint objects, such as a Get-PSBreakpoint command. You can also pipe breakpoint objects to Remove-PSBreakpoint.

Example 1
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
C:\PS>get-breakpoint | remove-breakpoint |
|
Description
-----------
This command deletes all of the breakpoints in the current console.
Example 2
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
C:\PS>$b = set-psbreakpoint -script sample.ps1 -variable Name C:\PS> $b | remove-psbreakpoint |
|
Description
-----------
This command deletes a breakpoint.
The first command uses the Set-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to create a breakpoint on the Name variable in the Sample.ps1 script. Then, it saves the breakpoint object in the $b variable.
The second command uses the Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to delete the new breakpoint. It uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the breakpoint object in the $b variable to the Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.
As a result of this command, if you run the script, it runs to completion without stopping. Also, the Get-PSBreakpoint cmdlet does not return this breakpoint.
Example 3
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
C:\PS>remove-psbreakpoint -id 2 |
|
Description
-----------
This command deletes the breakpoint with breakpoint ID 2.
Example 4
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
C:\PS>function del-psb { get-psbreakpoint | remove-psbreakpoint }
|
|
Description
-----------
This simple function deletes all of the breakpoints in the current console. It uses the Get-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to get the breakpoints. Then, it uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the breakpoints to the Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet, which deletes them.
As a result, you can type "del-psb" instead of the longer command.
To save the function, add it to your Windows PowerShell profile.
