Description
The Remove-NetRoute cmdlet removes IP routes from the IP routing table. Run this cmdlet without any parameters to remove all IP routes from the routing table, including default routes. You can also specify routes to remove by specifying parameters, or by using the Get-NetRoute cmdlet.
For more information about routing, see Chapter 5 - IP Routing in the TechNet library.
Examples
Example 1: Remove all routes
PS C:\>Remove-NetRoute
This command removes all of the IP routes on the computer, including default routes.
Example 2: Remove routes for a specified next hop
PS C:\>Remove-NetRoute -NextHop "192.168.0.1"
This command removes all of the IP routes that have a next hop of 192.168.0.1.

Type: | UInt32[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-NextHop
Specifies an array of next hop values. The cmdlet removes routes that have the next hop values that you specify. A value of 0.0.0.0 for IPv4 or :: for IPv6 indicates that the route is on the local subnet.

Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |

-PassThru
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
