Remove MyContent-Site with PowerShell

These days I had to do some tests with additional features we had to enable when a user creates his own “My Content” site. This means, create a “My Content” site, check, if everything is fine, do some corrections, remove the “My Content” site, remove the url in the profile of the user and test again.

To easily remove the “My Content” site and the url in the user profile, I created a small script to do the job:

param (
  [string] $mySiteHostUrl,
  [string] $userLogon
)

$site = Get-SPSite $mySiteHostUrl

if ($site -ne $null)
{
  $context = Get-SPServiceContext $site

  if ($context -ne $null)
  {
    $profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context)
        
    if ($profileManager -ne $null)
    {
      $profile = $profileManager.GetUserProfile($userLogon)
            
      if ($profile -ne $null)
      {
        $personalSpace = $profile["PersonalSpace"].Value
                
        $pmMySiteHostUrl = $profileManager.MySiteHostUrl
                
        if ($pmMySiteHostUrl.EndsWith("/") -eq $true)
        {
          $pmMySiteHostUrl = $pmMySiteHostUrl.Substring(0 ,$pmMySiteHostUrl.Length-1)
        }
                
        $personalSpaceUrl = $pmMySiteHostUrl + $personalSpace
                
        Write-Host $personalSpaceUrl
                
        $personalSite = Get-SPSite $personalSpaceUrl
                
        if ($personalSite -ne $null)
        {
          $personalSite.Delete()
                    
          Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Site" $personalSiteUrl "deleted."

          $profile["PersonalSpace"].Value = ""
          $profile.Commit()

          Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Cleared PersonalSpace property in the profile of user" $userLogon
        }
        else
        {
          Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Site" $personalSiteUrl "does not exist."
        }
      }
    }
  }
  else
  {
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Cannot get context!"
  }
}
else
{
  Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Cannot get site at" $mySiteHostUrl
}

Using this script, it was very easy to reset the environment.
