Examples

Example 1: Delete a Crashdump piped from the getter

PS> Get-XenCrashdump -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff | Remove-XenCrashdump
Deletes a Crashdump. The object is piped in, which is the usual way once you already have it.

Example 2: Delete a Crashdump by uuid

PS> Remove-XenCrashdump -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Deletes a Crashdump. -Uuid is the way to be sure of exactly one object.

Example 3: See what would be deleted

PS> Get-XenCrashdump -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff | Remove-XenCrashdump -WhatIf
Reports the Crashdump that would be deleted without deleting anything. Every cmdlet that changes the server takes -WhatIf and -Confirm.
