function Remove-DbaAgentSchedule {
    <#
.SYNOPSIS
Remove-DbaAgentJobSchedule removes a job schedule.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Remove-DbaAgentJobSchedule removes a a job in the SQL Server Agent.
 
.PARAMETER SqlInstance
SQL Server instance. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use:
$scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
.PARAMETER Schedule
The name of the job schedule.
 
.PARAMETER WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
.PARAMETER Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
.PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
         
.PARAMETER Force
The force parameter will ignore some errors in the parameters and assume defaults.
It will also remove the any present schedules with the same name for the specific job.
