Here it is:
$startsWith = "ABC"
$site = Get-SPSite http://mycoolsite
$webs = $site.AllWebs
foreach ($web in $webs) {
$lists = $web.Lists
for ($index = 0; $index -lt $lists.Count; $index++) {
if ($lists[$index].Title.StartsWith($startsWith)) {
$lists[$index].Delete()
}
}
$web.Dispose()
}
$site.Dispose()

can you also provide the generalized code to delete list with list name specified.Monica Jagani– Monica Jagani2011-09-06 12:18:33 +00:00Commented Sep 6, 2011 at 12:18

@MonicaJagani - for this generalized code: Do you know web location or do you need to search all webs in site collection to find it? You can easily modify provided code to do second: just use 'if($lists[$index].Title -eq $startsWith)'. This will delete list with name defined in $StartsWithVedran Rasol– Vedran Rasol2011-09-06 12:30:01 +00:00Commented Sep 6, 2011 at 12:30

It works better if you iterate backwards while deleting; the listed code didn't quite work for me -
for ($index = $lists.Count - 1; $index -ge 0; $index--) {lgaud– lgaud2013-03-21 15:37:45 +00:00Commented Mar 21, 2013 at 15:37
