The Remove-AzVM cmdlet removes a virtual machine from Azure.

Remove-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Name "VirtualMachine07"

This command removes the virtual machine named VirtualMachine07 in the resource group ResourceGroup11.

# Get a VMSS with the orchestration mode set to Flex.
$rgname = <Resource Group Name>
$vmssName = <VMSS Name>
$vmssFlex = Get-AzVmss -ResourceGroupName $rgname -VMScaleSetName $vmssName
$vmssvms = Get-AzVmssVM -ResourceGroupName $vmssFlex.ResourceGroupName -VMScaleSetName $vmssFlex.Name
# Get the first VM's name to delete it.
$vmName = $vmssvms[0].Name
Remove-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmName

This example shows how to delete a virtual machine within a virtual machine scale set of the orchestration mode Flex with this cmdlet. This will not work on a virtual machine scale set of orchestration mode Uniform.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
