Can't remove PowerShell alias via ps1 script

Question

Every time I run a script, I need to remove the curl alias from PowerShell in order to use the actual curl which is installed on my machine.

From PowerShell, I can remove the alias perfectly fine by using: Remove-Item alias:curl

But for some reason, when I put this code into a ps1 script and run that script, the alias is not removed.

Does anyone know why this is the case?

You can also update your profile to remove the alias each time PowerShell starts; $profile is an automatic variable that stores the paths to the PowerShell profiles that are available in the current session.

if (!(Test-Path -Path $profile)) {
    New-Item -Path $profile -Force
}
Add-Content -Path $profile -Value "Remove-Item alias:curl"
. $profile
