I was recently asked to remove a Quick Launch item in all quick launch menus across an entire web application.  The following PowerShell will iterate over all webs in all sites in a web application searching for the menu item labelled \u201cBAD Quick Launch Item\u201d and will delete that node from each location.<\/p>\n

$FindString = “BAD Quick Launch Item”<\/font><\/p>\n

Get-SPWebApplication “<\/font>http:\/\/webapplication.company.com”<\/font> | Get-SPSite -Limit ALL | Get-SPWeb -Limit ALL | ForEach-Object {
