  • I think you can just Pipe everything into the Remove-SPWeb command. Are you getting any errors with what you listed above?

  • It looks like for you could be suitable just to delete the site collection. Or do you need to delete all subsites from certain level?

  • @luccio there's a filter applied near the end, so it's just some specific sub-sites

    This will need a recursion. if a web has sub web underneath, it can't be deleted.

So as to not leave this unanswered, the PowerShell below should clean up all sites that match the "crates" filter you specified.

Get-SPWebApplication https://portal.fruits.com | Get-SPSite -Limit All  | Get-SPWeb -Limit All | where {$_.Url -Match "crates"} | Sort-Object { $_.Url.Length } -Descending | Remove-SPWeb

I tested here using -whatif and the sort order solved the recursion requirement that Yousuf mentioned.
