SharePoint 2010 Delete a list by using Powershell

If you have a corrupted list which should be deleted this might be helpful to delete the list. Just open Powershell on your server and use this script to delete the list:

[sourcecode language=”csharp”]
Get-SPWeb “YourSiteCollectionUrl” |  Where-Object { $_.Lists.Delete([System.Guid]$_.Lists[“Listname”].ID) }

[/sourcecode]

Hope this helps.

    $(Get-SPWeb “YourSiteCollectionUrl”).Lists[“List Title”].Delete()
