Delete multiple document libraries in SharePoint 2013

We currently have 2000+ site collections where I would like to delete the default "Documents" library.
I know how to do this manually for one site collection and it works fine when I use this:
$web = get-spweb -Identity http://intranet/linktoasite
$list = $web.lists["Documents"]
$list.AllowDeletion = $true
$list.Update()
$list.Delete()
However doing this for 2000+ sites isn't really efficient and my attempts to do this in PowerShell based on a CSV file with all site collections have been ...uhm... less than successful. ;)
Any help pushing me in the right direction are highly appreciated! :-)

You just need for loop at site collection level

  • Can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option in sharepoint 2013

    After upgrading Sharepoint 2010 to 2013, i can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option under files tab. I have downloaded and place the file 'STSUPLD.DLL' into Office14 and Office15 folder but IE is not asking me to run any microsoft ActiveX control as mentioned here
    http://thuansoldier.net/?p=2289
    I am using  Office 2010 with IE9 (32 bit) .
    Am i missing anything ?

    Hi, 
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not see the “Upload Multiple Document” option in SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint 2013 the “Upload Multiple” Options has been depreciated. As we all known, there are two alternative ways to Upload multiple documents:option
    1 -  Using the drag-and-drop functionality, option 2 - Windows Explorer view.
    You can upgrade your IE from IE9 to IE10 then check whether it works.
    You can also use the Windows Explorer view to upload multiple documents.
    You will probably get the following error.
    To resolve this add the SharePoint site as Trusted in your Browser and Make sure that the WebClient service is running. To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then press Enter.
    In the list of services, locate the WebClient service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If its status is not set to Started, double-click WebClient, click Start, and then click OK.
    Once done restart the browser and try opening the Windows Explorer again. In the Windows Explorer you can copy and paste Multiple documents as done in earlier SharePoint versions.

  • Ellipse not working in few document libraries in SharePoint 2013

    I have few document libraries with 500+ documents.
    I am not able to edit the properties using ellipse.
    I tried on all browsers and on all version.
    It is working for other document libraries

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error when click on ellipsis then "Edit Properties" in a Document library.
    I tried to reproduce the issue, every documents in my environment worked well.
    As you has said that It is working for other document libraries, you can create a new document library with the same "parameters" and then transfer 
    the documents into it, then check whether it works, maybe the current library has been corrupted.
    You can also check the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

  • Display data from multiple document Libraries in List View Webpart

    Hi All,
    I want to display data from multiple document libraries into one list view webpart(custom i have created)
    I went through the following link http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ramg/archive/2009/04/22/implementing-a-simple-cross-site-collection-list-view-webpart.aspx
    but it tells to display only from one document library.
    My motive behind displaying data in the list view webpart is to achieve the functionality of Check In ,Check Out and other OOB features.
    With Regards,
    Jaskaran Singh

    Hi,
    As there is no such OOTB feature, a workaround is to create a visual web part to gather items from libraries and implement functionalities like Check in, Check out files
    in different libraries.
    The links below will provide more details:

  • Unable to edit document template in SharePoint 2013

    We have uploaded a set of templates that users can select from the drop down list in the Document field in the Document Library.  We now need to edit one of these document templates.
    We follow the procedure and make the edits which changes the template but when we then select that template from the drop down list, the edits have not been actioned.
    Can anyone please assist?

    Hi,
    As I understand, The modification was not saved back to the template.
    How do you edit the document template? 
    Check if the URL of the template is right. You can go to the site setting->site content type->click the content type you want to edit->advanced setting->edit the template->open the template, and click file->to check if the URL under the template is right.
    As a workaround, when you edit the template you can save the template in the local computer, and you can upload the template you have saved in the advanced setting for the content type.
    The article below is about how to create Document Templates for Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013.

    Use single realm for multiple web applciation in sharepoint 2013 and adfs 2.0
    Please help!!

    I dont think you can do this, because you have to name/url of the web application in realm. You have to add new realm for each web application.here is script to add another realm.
    Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
    $sts = Get-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer | where {$_.Name -eq "ADFS2.0"}
    $uri = new-object System.Uri("http://url/")

  • Is there a difference between libraries and document folders in Sharepoint 2013?

    I am new to Sharepoint and trying to decide if I should use "documents" folders or "library" folders. As far as I can tell, there is no difference. Am I missing something?

  • How do I delete duplicate Site Columns in Sharepoint 2013

    When I got to save a site as a template I'm told that there are duplicate site columns and the template can not be saved.
    I found that under all of the e-mail submission site columns they are duplicated site columns  for example
     BCC
    Multiple lines of text
    Property Management
     BCC
    Multiple lines of text
    PMRG Connections
    I want to remove the Property Management   ( I know that this is the site  name where I copied it from), but they are duplicated all across the site collections.. every site  and site collection has it duplicated, is this because I
    enabled  lists to allow email submissions?
    either way I need to get rid of the duplicate  item, so I can save sites as templates if needed.

    There are a few required columns that can’t be deleted. They cannot be deleted through UI because
    the Delete button is not available (as you already mentioned in your previous post). The only available option is using C# code (SP object) or Powershell commends.
    By the way, I cannot find Date Received column in my Dev, I guess Date Received is the one of the columns added by custom feature. You may refer the link below for useful Powershell commend. It was written for SharePoint 2010 but should work in
    SharePoint 2013 as well.

  • How do I show/refresh data from an Access Web App in an Excel spreadsheet saved in a Document Library on Sharepoint 2013 online

    I have an Access 2013 Web App in my Sharepoint 2013 online website. It contains a query to report on its data (several, actually, but let's keep it simple). I want to connect an Excel spreadsheet to the query, visualise the data in pivot tables/graphs/whatever,
    save the spreadsheet in a Document Library, and let other team site Sharepoint users open the spreadsheet (preferably in Excel online, but with Excel client if it has to be) and see/copy the data, refreshed with the latest information from the Access Web App.
    Simple, surely!
    The way I'm doing it at the moment is to create an ODC file to connect to the cloud-based Access 2013 database, save that ODC in a Data Connection Library in the SP site, and use the saved ODC file as data source in the Excel spreadsheet. This works and
    successfully keeps everything 'in the cloud' but I can't get it to refresh in Excel Online, and if I open the spreadsheet in Excel Client I have to enter the database password every time to refresh it. I don't really want to issue this password to everyone
    who might want to view the data. There must be a better way than this ODC method, I suspect.
    Googlings on this have led down various blind alleys - Excel Services, PowerPivots, Web Parts - but I'm stuck on which to follow through. Please, someone, point me to an article/book/website that explains how to do this step-by-step in simple language..
    thanks
    Jonathan

    I don't see any quick way of achieving it - at least there's no such functionality exists in SharePoint. All you can do, develop an event receiver that will update the fields in the list item once the excel file is added/updated. You can use OpenXml API
    to manipulate the excel file.

  • How do I delete multiple documents at the same time

    How do I delete several or multiple documents at the same time.  Do I have to delete each one individully?

    You can select multiple adjacent files or folders by clicking on the first one then shift-click on the last one.  Multiple non-adjacent files or folders can be selected one at a time by command clicking on each one.  Click on any selected file or folder then drag/drop to trash.
