Just wrap the remove-variable in an if block to check if its one of the ones you want to save.

Hmm. Well I got it to work, but it works a little too well. it takes out my $xaml and $window variables too, which kills the UI. Hehe. I guess it needs to leave out $xaml and $window… From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Crawford Sent: Friday, February 26, 2016 3:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [powershell] clear session variables without closing the session? Depending how much planning ahead you want to do, you could run: $DefaultVariables = (Get-Variable).Name at the beginning of your session instead of in the snippet I sent. Then my snippet would be faster and wouldn’t need to be adjusted based on the interpreter you’re using.

This seems to work from the console. Some tweaking would be necessary to work from ISE or whatever interpreter you’re using. $AllVariables = (Get-Variable).Name $DefaultVariables = (powershell {Get-Variable}).Name $ComparedVariables = Compare-Object $AllVariables $DefaultVariables foreach ($ComparedVariable in $ComparedVariables) { Remove-Variable $ComparedVariable.InputObject } Remove-Variable ComparedVariable Remove-Variable ComparedVariables From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mote, Todd Sent: Friday, February 26, 2016 2:54 PM To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: RE: [powershell] clear session variables without closing the session? I designed this UI for others to use and made a reset button to clear all the text boxes and pull downs to get it ready to go again, so while I don’t mind to run it in a new session every time, I was looking for something the reset button could do from my UI to clean things up?

I use my extension to run PowerShell scripts in a new session: http://www.ephingadmin.com/run-wpf-powershell-scripts-in-the-ise-without-all-the-crashing/ It basically saves what you have in the console (either saving the script or saving the unsaved script to a temp file) and then runs that file in a new session outside of the ISE. I wrote this for WPF writing since the ISE crashes every now and then when editing WPF scripts.

I have a reset button in my UI to clear everything out for the next run of this process, but it seems like there’s always something left behind that screws something up on a subsequent run.
