Raw
RemovePSAliases4Scoop.md
  1. Create a PowerShell profile if you have not. New-Item $profile -force -itemtype file
  2. Edit the profile. notepad $profile
  3. Add the aliases you wish to remove. remove-item alias:<command>
  4. Save and close the PowerShell to reload the profile, or if you wish to use the same window issue the command . $profile to reload the profile.
  5. This can be stepped if you run PowerShell

If you wish to run PowerShell with the defaults you can run it using the -NoProfile flag on the Run window or simply delete the profile that was created.

I personally use @cbucher 's ConsoleZ with PowerShell and have a profile to remove the aliases for the programs installed by @lukesampson's scoop install coreutils command.
