function Remove-DbaDatabase {
    <#
.SYNOPSIS
Drops a database, hopefully even the really stuck ones.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Tries a bunch of different ways to remove a database or two or more.
 
.PARAMETER SqlInstance
The SQL Server instance holding the databases to be removed.You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or higher.
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted.
 
$scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
 
Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
.PARAMETER Database
The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
.PARAMETER DatabaseCollection
A collection of databases (such as returned by Get-DbaDatabase), to be removed.
 
.PARAMETER IncludeSystemDb
Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages
 
.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.

.EXAMPLE
Remove-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database containeddb
 
Prompts then removes the database containeddb on SQL Server sql2016
 
.EXAMPLE
Remove-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database containeddb, mydb
 
Prompts then removes the databases containeddb and mydb on SQL Server sql2016
 
.EXAMPLE
Remove-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database containeddb -Confirm:$false
 
Does not prompt and swiftly removes containeddb on SQL Server sql2016
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance server\instance -ExcludeAllSystemDb | Remove-DbaDatabase
 
Removes all the user databases from server\instance
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance server\instance -ExcludeAllSystemDb | Remove-DbaDatabase -Confirm:$false
 
Removes all the user databases from server\instance without any confirmation
