Remove-PSBreakpoint

SYNOPSIS

Deletes breakpoints from the current console.

SYNTAX

Breakpoint (Default)

Remove-PSBreakpoint [-Breakpoint] <Breakpoint[]> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Id

Remove-PSBreakpoint [-Id] <Int32[]> [-Runspace <Runspace>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

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 PowerShell scripts. For more information about the PowerShell debugger, see about_Debuggers (../microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_debuggers.md).

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Remove all breakpoints

Get-PSBreakpoint | Remove-PSBreakpoint

Example 2: Remove a specified breakpoint

$B = Set-PSBreakpoint -Script "sample.ps1" -Variable "Name"
$B | Remove-PSBreakpoint

The `Set-PSBreakpoint` cmdlet creates a breakpoint on the `$Name` variable in the `Sample.ps1` script and saves the breakpoint object in the `$B` variable. The `Remove-PSBreakpoint` cmdlet deletes 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: Remove a breakpoint by ID

Remove-PSBreakpoint -Id 2

Example 4: Use a function to remove all breakpoints

function del-psb { Get-PSBreakpoint | Remove-PSBreakpoint }

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.
