Remove Registry Item -- Can't get any cmdlets to work

PowerShell Help
1

In the image below, I am trying to delete “subkey”. However, a variety of cmdlets simply won’t work :frowning:

I’ve tried:

Get-ChildItem -Path hklm:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\test* | remove-item
Get-item -Path hklm:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\test* | remove-item

Is there something obvious I am missing?

I think that’s exposed as an ItemProperty - do a “Get-Command *ItemProperty” to see commands that work with those.

Thanks, Don. Looks like that’s the trick.

Remove-ItemProperty -Path hklm:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\test\ -Name *  -WhatIf

What if: Performing the operation “Remove Property” on target “Item: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\test\ Property: subkey”.
