Howto delete a snapshot without confirmation?

dietermann — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:01:03 GMT

Hello,

I want to delete many snapshots with the same name on different volumes and filers.

My script works, but I have to Confirm each remove-Nasnapshot.

How can I disable the Confirmation?

The cmdlet i use in the inner loop is

"remove-NaSnapshot $volName $snapName"

Best regards

Add -confirm:$false to suppress confirmation

PS C:\Windows\system32> Remove-NaSnapshot voltest test1 -Confirm:$false

Hello Vinith,

thanks for your quick response.

This was exactly the parameter I was looking for!

(get-help remove-NaSnapshot was a little short on that parameter.)

My script runs now without interverntion!

Best regards
