PowerShell :: Delete All List Items

Hi All,

In a following post we will see about a PowerShell Script which is used to delete all SharePoint List Items.

Code Snippet:

[CmdletBinding()]

Param(

[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][System.String]$Url,

[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][System.String]$ListName

)

if(!(Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ea 0))

{

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

}

$Web = Get-SPWeb $Url

$List = $Web.lists[$ListName]

if($List -eq $null){

    Write-Error "The List cannot be found";return

}

Write-Warning "Deleting all list items from $($ListName)"

$Items = $List.GetItems()

$Items | ForEach-Object{

$List.GetItemById($_.Id).Delete()

}

$List.Update()

$Web.Dispose()

Write-Host "Job Done"
