How to Clear all Site Collection Read only Access from Local Site Collection Taxonomy Group

I have a site collection http://c4968397007/ in which I have created a taxonomy group. Navigate to the site collection http://c4968397007/. Click on Settings, and then click on Site Settings. Click on Term store management which is available under Site Administration section. You could be able to see the local site collection taxonomy group in the Taxonomy Term Store.

In SharePoint 2013, local term sets can be exposed to other site collections. This is one of the improvements in SharePoint 2013. Please refer http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/anavijai/cross-site-collection-term-set-access-in-sharepoint-2013/ to know more about cross site collection term set access in SharePoint 2013. In my last article I have mentioned how to add the site collections to have read only access to the local site collection taxonomy group in SharePoint 2013 using server object model (In this article I have added two site collections to have read only access to the local site collection taxonomy group). In this blog you will see how to clear all site collection from having read only access to the local site collection taxonomy group in SharePoint 2013 using server object model.
