Remove Module

[Cristoforo Kanoy]

Thecommand uses a pipeline operator () to send the module names to Remove-Module. It uses theVerbose common parameter to get detailed information about the members that are removed.

The Verbose messages show the items that are removed. The messages differ because theBitsTransfer module includes an assembly that implements its cmdlets and a nested module with itsown assembly. The PSDiagnostics module includes a module script file (.psm1) that exportsfunctions.

The $OnRemoveScript variable contains the script block that cleans up the resources. You registerthe script block by assigning it to $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Module.OnRemove. You can alsouse Register-EngineEvent to have the script block execute when the PowerShell session ends.

Specifies the module objects to remove. Enter a variable that contains a PSModuleInfo object ora command that gets a module object, such as a Get-Module command. You can also pipe moduleobjects to Remove-Module.

The Uninstall-Module cmdlet uninstalls a specified module from the local computer. You can'tuninstall a module if other modules depend on it or the module wasn't installed with theInstall-Module cmdlet.

I'm working on debugging a Powershell project. I'm using Import-Module to load the PS module from my C# dll and everything works fine. Calling Remove-Module does not fully unload the module though as the DLL is still locked and can not be deleted.

After the exit, you'll be brought back to the instance of PowerShell from which you made this call (assuming you made the powershell call inside and instance of PowerShell). You can pass in any of the normal arguments to powershell, so you can use -Command or -File. E.g.,

All of this was done from the PowerShell command line interface. I haven't tested what happens if you throw powershell in the middle of a script or if this works within ISE. (I suspect it works within ISE.) Even if if doesn't work inside a script, this is still useful during development.

Did some checking. So this seems to work fine from within scripts and in ISE, but there's a caveat within ISE. From ISE, you can't read any input from the user while you're inside the separate PowerShell process. If you try, the script or commands stop to wait, but no input box is shown like normal, and of course, you can't type directly into the output window in ISE. So if you need to prompt for input in the middle of [do work], prompt before firing up a new instance of PowerShell, and pass it into the work as a parameter. These aren't problems at all if you're using the regular PowerShell command line.

No. As PowerShell uses .NET underneath it has the same requirements.You cannot unload a dll from a .NET AppDomain without unloading the AppDomain itself. As the PowerShell UI lives in the same AppDomain this is not possible.

Second, on those occasions where I know I want to load a module, do some work, and ensure the module is unloaded afterwards, I use a second instance of PowerShell. This has been discussed in other answers, and my answer below shows how I enable this workflow by using a function with an alias in my Profile. I change the prompt so I can have a visual reminder that I am in a "recursive PowerShell window".

I believe this holds true for PowerShell: in the .NET world the only way to unload an assembly is to load it into a different AppDomain; once an assembly is loaded to an AppDomain it remains loaded for the lifetime of that AppDomain.

I've had the same issues and ended up wrapping the DLL I wanted to load inside a commandline exe which I then called from the script. In that way I avoided loading the DLL inside my application at all.

There is no way to unload an individual assembly without unloading all of the application domains that contain it. Use the Unload method from AppDomain to unload the application domains. For more information, see Unloading an Application Domain.

You could start a new PowerShell host in a new AppDomain, import your module to the host and do the PowerShell job. The module is as normal as it was running in your previous host. The only difference is that it is in a host running in a different AppDomain.

I had some external module (ImportExcel) I wanted to update like this and it did not work. For this situation Install-Module -Scope CurrentUser (in case it is in your users module folder, otherwise omit the -Scope ... param) worked.

Specifies the module objects to remove. Enter a variable that contains a module object ( PSModuleInfo ) or a command that gets a module object, such as a Get-Module command. You can also pipe module objects to Remove-Module .

Hello I'm using a website page template from Hubspot's marketplace and there are multiple modules at the bottom of the page that I do not need, but when I go to edit I cannot delete these modules off the page.

To describe my issue specificly, I can see the module in both in my page and in page contents tab (listed under Static modules). I can go ahead and edit the module, but I cannot delete it - there is simply no option to do so.

I can also assure this module is not a part of the page template. I added it to the bottom of my page when I tried if the module would work when dragging it from the Add tab to the page. I did not create a new section or drag it to a drag and drop -area.

As a previous Eloqua user (not saying I liked Eloqua by any means) I used to have the ability to add or remove modules from an email when building in the email creator. I find it a little annoying that I have to build a template if I need to swap or add/remove a simple module from my email. I feel there should be a master template options that allows you the freedom to add/remove/swap a moule as you please once you've hit the "create email" button.

Thank you for your comments and insights. I am setting this to delivered as we now have the drag and drop editor in email. We are also building a feature soon which will allow you to save your drag and drop email as a template which will make this even easier for your email management and creation.

My ad firm has been frustrated with the same thing. We want to create one template with multiple rows that would account for lots of different layouts. Use that as a master template, then in the email builder delete and/or duplicate rows (modules), and re-order them up and down the email as needed. The workflow currently exists in the landing page builder, but not for emails. Customer service has told us there is no way to do this currently? If we have to clone, then edit a template for every single new email that gets created across dozens of clients, it's not a "template," and we'll have to continue directing our clients to use a different company until this feature is added.

This problem makes it very difficult to move from Mailchimp to Hubspot when sending emails and newsletters. We have a monthly newsletter that is sent out to clients with a standard template layout that we follow. One HUGE issue is that I have the entire newsletter content/copy in place and then someone might want to include something extra (outside of the normal template) for just that month and there is no way to add an additional module to the email. We can add that section to the template and then create an email from that template again but then you lose ALL of your content and have to start over when it was nearly completed.

This is a no-brainer, and it's very confusing why this is not already in place. It doesn't seem to be a difficult change - adding support for boolean and choice field control modules in the email builder would solve this. We also need this so that we can move away from custom-coding each email and into a more efficient, templatized workflow. Hubspot, please implement this. Soon.

I completely agree. We are moving from MailChimp to HubSpot and being able to very quickly add and remove content blocks would be a HUGE improvement. The people I work with do not know code and having a MailChimp style drag and drop type interface would be wonderful.

Completely agree, we've recently changed from mailchimp to Hubspot and this seems a very basic functionality that should be incorporated. It's available in most email providers and it's baffling that this is not available in Hubspot.

Completey agree. I am managing more than 100 users from different countries. Currently I have to maintain > 5 templates per language (e.g. english template 1, english template 2, english template 3 ....). Instead I would prefer to just offer an english master version containing "all modules" and have the user decide which modules to use in her/his email.

To all looking for this feature: it's been added (in a limited capacity) with the new design manager beta, via the new boolean field. You can add html blocks and just contain them with this field, and then creators will have the ability to turn these code blocks on and off within the email creator. They still can't rearrange them (why?!) but they can enable/disable them, which is a start.

@pixelauthor is there any additional documented info on this feature from Hubspot? I am not sure this is what the thread is looking for. Does this allow you to add/remove modules after you have selected "create email" and are editing within the email builder? Also, looking for this field in design manager and don't see it so we must have to opt into the beta version somehow?

@MichelleFink, the boolean field is just available to email modules now too - it seems to be the same one that was used for pages before. Their documentation is here: -modules. Yes, the on/off switches are displayed in the email builder and will toggle those sections when used - I've tested it. Lastly yes, you do need to opt in to the beta: -manager-beta
