Azure Data Factory - How to remove data sets in bulk?

azure, azure-data-factory, azure-powershell

Solution

While there is no such option to delete all datasets in the portal, you can do so with a PowerShell snippet:

`Get-AzureRmDataFactory -ResourceGroupName <rgname> -Name <factory name> | Get-AzureRmDataFactoryDataset | Remove-AzureRmDataFactoryDataset`

You may wish to append `-Force` to `Remove-AzureRmDataFactoryDataset`, which will stop the cmdlet from prompting you before deleting each dataset. Keep in mind that datasets cannot be deleted if they are being referenced by some existing pipeline.
