Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations

Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command

You can READ objects by using Get-UsbDevice cmdlet. See example below: 
# Retrieves the USB devices attached to the virtual machines on the Host host.
Get-UsbDevice -VM (Get-VM -Location Host)

Step 2 : Run commands from the CRUD group

You can REMOVE objects by using Remove-UsbDevice cmdlet. See example below: 
# Retrieves the virtual machines on the host stored in the $vmhost variable and removes their USB devices.
Get-UsbDevice -VM (Get-VM -Location $vmhost) | Remove-UsbDevice
