How do you clear variable data in PowerShell?

The Clear-Variable cmdlet deletes the data stored in a variable, but it does not delete the variable. As a result, the value of the variable is NULL (empty). If the variable has a specified data or object type, this cmdlet preserves the type of the object stored in the variable.

  1. How can I list back all the variables that I have created before?

    • This gets all the variables, not just the ones you created, you need to filter to variable you are concerned about: Get-Variable -name <name without $>

  2. How do I then clear all the contents of the variables?

    • Clear-Variable -name <name without $>
  3. How do I remove/delete a variable?
    • Remove-Variable -name <name without $>
