<a name="workspaces_example_workspaces_TerminateWorkspaces_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `TerminateWorkspaces`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To terminate a WorkSpace**  
The following `terminate-workspaces` example terminates the specified workspace.  

```
aws workspaces terminate-workspaces \
    --terminate-workspace-requests ws-dk1xzr417
```
Output:  

```
{
    "FailedRequests": []
}
```
For more information, see [Delete a WorkSpace](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/delete-workspaces.html) in the *Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide*.  
+  For API details, see [TerminateWorkspaces](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/workspaces/terminate-workspaces.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*.

#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: Terminates multiple WorkSpaces. use of the -Force switch stops the cmdlet from prompting for confirmation.**  

```
Remove-WKSWorkspace -WorkspaceId "ws-1a2b3c4d5","ws-6a7b8c9d0" -Force
```
**Example 2: Retrieves the collection of all your WorkSpaces and pipes the IDs to the -WorkSpaceId parameter of Remove-WKSWorkspace, terminating all of the WorkSpaces. The cmdlet will prompt before each WorkSpace is terminated. To suppress the confirmation prompt add the -Force switch.**  

```
Get-WKSWorkspaces | Remove-WKSWorkspace
```
**Example 3: This example shows how to pass TerminateRequest objects defining the WorkSpaces to be terminated. The cmdlet will prompt for confirmation before proceeding, unless the -Force switch parameter is also specified.**  

```
$arrRequest = @()
$request1 = New-Object Amazon.WorkSpaces.Model.TerminateRequest
$request1.WorkspaceId = 'ws-12345678'
$arrRequest += $request1
$request2 = New-Object Amazon.WorkSpaces.Model.TerminateRequest
$request2.WorkspaceId = 'ws-abcdefgh'
$arrRequest += $request2
Remove-WKSWorkspace -Request $arrRequest
```
+  For API details, see [TerminateWorkspaces](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. 

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: Terminates multiple WorkSpaces. use of the -Force switch stops the cmdlet from prompting for confirmation.**  

```
Remove-WKSWorkspace -WorkspaceId "ws-1a2b3c4d5","ws-6a7b8c9d0" -Force
```
**Example 2: Retrieves the collection of all your WorkSpaces and pipes the IDs to the -WorkSpaceId parameter of Remove-WKSWorkspace, terminating all of the WorkSpaces. The cmdlet will prompt before each WorkSpace is terminated. To suppress the confirmation prompt add the -Force switch.**

$request2.WorkspaceId = 'ws-abcdefgh'
$arrRequest += $request2
Remove-WKSWorkspace -Request $arrRequest
