delete Site collections sharepoint 2010

Question

I need to delete all site collections that contains personal in it. I get all the site collections by the cmdlet

$sites= get-spsite -limit all| Where {$_.url -like "*personal*"}
foreach($site in $sites)
{
Remove-spsite -identity $site
} 

I get an error cannot convert spsite to Spsitepipebind

Answer 1

Instead of removing sites in foreach try passing it to Remove-SPSite using pipeline:

---

Get-SPSite -Limit ALL | Where-Object { $_.Url -Like "*personal*" } | Remove-SPSite

Or shorter version:

Get-SPSite -Limit ALL | ? Url -like *personal* | Remove-SPSite
