This command removes the secret named FinanceSecret from the key vault named Contoso.'





Example 2: Remove a secret from a key vault without user confirmation



PS C:\\>Remove-AzureKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'Contoso' -Name 'FinanceSecret' -Force -Confirm:$False



This command removes the secret named FinanceSecret from the key vault named Contoso. The command specifies the Force and Confirm parameters, and,

therefore, the cmdlet does not prompt you for confirmation.

PS C:\\>Remove-AzureKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'Contoso' -Name 'FinanceSecret' -InRemovedState



This command premoves the secret named FinanceSecret from the key vault named Contoso permanently. Executing this cmdlet requires the 'purge'

permission, which must have been previously and explicitly granted to the user for this key vault.
