Parameters
-CredentialNOTE: This parameter is not supported by any providers installed with PowerShell. To impersonate another user, or elevate your credentials when running this cmdlet, use Invoke-Command.-ExcludeSpecifies, as a string array, an item or items that this cmdlet excludes in the operation. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. Enter a path element or pattern, such as *.txt. Wildcard characters are permitted. The Exclude parameter is effective only when the command includes the contents of an item, such as C:\Windows\*, where the wildcard character specifies the contents of the C:\Windows directory.-FilterSpecifies a filter to qualify the Path parameter. The FileSystem provider is the only installed PowerShell provider that supports the use of filters. You can find the syntax for the FileSystem filter language in about_Wildcards. Filters are more efficient than other parameters, because the provider applies them when the cmdlet gets the objects rather than having PowerShell filter the objects after they are retrieved.-ForceIndicates that this cmdlet deletes properties from items that cannot otherwise be accessed by the user. Implementation varies from provider to provider. For more information, see about_Providers.-IncludeSpecifies, as a string array, an item or items that this cmdlet includes in the operation. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. Enter a path element or pattern, such as "*.txt". Wildcard characters are permitted. The Include parameter is effective only when the command includes the contents of an item, such as C:\Windows\*, where the wildcard character specifies the contents of the C:\Windows directory.-LiteralPathSpecifies a path to one or more locations. The value of LiteralPath is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks. Single quotation marks tell PowerShell not to interpret any characters as escape sequences.
For more information, see about_Quoting_Rules.-NameSpecifies the name of the property to be cleared, such as the name of a registry value. Wildcard characters are permitted.-PassThruReturns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.-PathSpecifies the path to the property being cleared. Wildcard characters are permitted.-UseTransactionIncludes the command in the active transaction. This parameter is valid only when a transaction is in progress. For more information, see about_Transactions.-ConfirmPrompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.-WhatIfShows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
