function Remove-DbaXESession {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Removes Extended Events sessions.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            This script removes Extended Events sessions on a SQL Server instance.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            Target SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2008 or higher.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER Session
            Specifies a list of Extended Events sessions to remove.
 
        .PARAMETER AllSessions
            If this switch is enabled, all Extended Events sessions will be removed except the packaged sessions AlwaysOn_health, system_health, telemetry_xevents.
 
        .PARAMETER InputObject
            Accepts a collection of XEsession objects as output by Get-DbaXESession.
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
        .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.
