How to clean up Windows Virtual Desktop tenant deployment using PowerShell

If you have been experimenting with Windows Virtual Desktop you may notice that old tenants that were created still show under the WVD Tenant management portal. These show even if the Host Pool has been deleted from the Portal. The following set of commands can be used to delete the tenant so that it no longer showers in the management portal.


Use Get-RdsSessionHost to find the name of the old Session Hosts.

Get-RdsSessionHost -TenantName "Windows Virtual Desktop Betts" -HostPoolName "host-pool1"

Use Remove-RdsSessionHost to delete the Session Hosts, this needs done even if you have deleted the Host Pool from the Portal.

Remove-RdsSessionHost -TenantName "Windows Virtual Desktop Betts" -HostPoolName "host-pool1" -Name "hoa-wvd--0.domain.com" -Force

Use Remote-RdsHostPool to delete the Host Pool, again this need done even if it’s been deleted from the Portal.

Remove-RdsHostPool -TenantName "Windows Virtual Desktop Betts" -Name "host-pool1"

Use Remove-RdsTenant to delete the old tenant so that it no longer shows in the WVD management portal.

Remove-RdsTenant -Name "Windows Virtual Desktop Betts”
