I was recently asked to delete an orphaned meeting workspace for a client. I couldn\u2019t find anyone who\u2019d done this before on the old Google box on the internet machine, so I decided to write something for myself, using PowerShell.<\/p>\n
I did this by using the following PowerShell script (using the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell on a server in the SharePoint farm \u2013 not a traditional PowerShell console).<\/p>\n
Start by getting a reference to the site (web).<\/p>\n
PS C:Usersspfulladmin> $web = Get-SPWeb "[my url]" <\/font> <\u2014This needs to be the URL to the meeting workspace (such as http:\/\/server\/teams\/meetingworkspace)<\/p>\n Next, since I didn\u2019t know exactly what list I wanted to modify, I retrieved a collections of all the lists in the site.<\/p>\n PS C:Usersspfulladmin> $web.Lists | select Title, BaseType<\/font><\/p>\n Title BaseType For meeting workspaces, the list we want to modify is \u201cMeeting Series<\/font>\u201d, so we\u2019ll select the items in that list.<\/p>\n PS C:Usersspfulladmin> $items = $web.Lists["Meeting Series"].items<\/font><\/p>\n Now that we have the collection of items, we want to find out which index in the list we need to get (like in most programming languages, indexes start at 0, not 1).<\/p>\n
