Example 1: This example deletes the IAM virtual MFA device whose ARN is arn:aws:iam::123456789012:mfa/bob.

Remove-IAMVirtualMFADevice -SerialNumber arn:aws:iam::123456789012:mfa/bob

Example 2: This example checks to see whether the IAM user Theresa has an MFA device assigned. If one is found, the device is disabled for the IAM user. If the device is virtual, then it is also deleted.

$mfa = Get-IAMMFADevice -UserName Theresa
if ($mfa) { 
    Disable-IAMMFADevice -SerialNumber $mfa.SerialNumber -UserName $name 
    if ($mfa.SerialNumber -like "arn:*") { Remove-IAMVirtualMFADevice -SerialNumber $mfa.SerialNumber }
}
