I'm running a PowerShell script that deletes about 10 entries per minute. Is there a way to do this more efficiently/quicker, i.e. directly from the database? How can this be achieved?
$web = Get-SPWeb http://site
$qlNave = $web.Navigation.QuickLaunch
$i = 1
ForEach ($Node in $qlNave)
{
if ($node.Title -eq "something")
{
$node.Delete()
}
$i++
}
$web.Dispose()
Thanks!
I did it with the following code,
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell
$FindString = “something”
Get-SPSite http:/sitecollectionurl/ | get-spweb -limit all | foreach-object{
$web = $_
$_.Navigation.QuickLaunch | ForEach-Object {
$_.Children | ForEach-Object {
if($_.title -eq $FindString){
$node = $_
$node.delete()
Write-Host “Deleted node from ” $web “-” $web.url
}
}
}
}
Remove-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
OR
try the below codes too
To delete the link from the Quick Launch
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell
$webURL="http://serverName:1111/sites/SPSiteDataQuery/"
$web=Get-SPWeb $webURL
$navigationNodeColl=$web.Navigation.QuickLaunch
$heading = $navigationNodeColl | where { $_.Title -eq "Libraries" }
$link = $heading.Children | where { $_.Title -eq "Shared Documents" }
$link.Delete()
Remove-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
To delete the heading from the Quick Launch
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell
$webURL="http://serverName:1111/sites/SPSiteDataQuery/"
$web=Get-SPWeb $webURL
$navigationNodeColl=$web.Navigation.QuickLaunch
$heading = $navigationNodeColl | where { $_.Title -eq "Libraries" }
$heading.Delete()
Remove-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$subsite= Get-SPWeb $subSiteUrl
$node = $subsite.Navigation.QuickLaunch | where { $_.TitleResource.Value -eq $titleToRemove}
if($node -ne $null)
{
$node.Delete()
}
