Remove-WmiObject
Having shown how a new WMI object can be created using Invoke-WmiMethod we need to consider how to remove a WMI Object. CTP 2 supplies a Remove-WMIObject cmdlet. This takes a WMI path to identify the individual object or you can use Get-WMIObject to identify object and pipe the result to Remove-WMIObject
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_process -Filter "Name='notepad.exe'" | Remove-WmiObject
