Bulk Deleting Site Collections

This is not for the faint hearted. The other day I was testing the creation of a few hundred site collections under a managed path; this went well until I came to the point of deleting them and performing another test, the UI is definitely not the way to go.

For your delectation please find below a one line power-shell command to bulk delete number prefixed site collections under a managed path:

Get-SPSite | Where {$_.url -match http://web/sites/[0-9]} | Remove-SPSite -Confirm:$false

Use at your own risk…
