function Remove-DbaAgentJobStep {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Removes a step from the specified SQL Agent job.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Removes a job step from a SQL Server Agent job.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER Job
        The name of the job.
 
    .PARAMETER StepName
        The name of the job step.
 
    .PARAMETER Mode
        Default: Strict
        How strict does the command take lesser issues?
        Strict: Interrupt if the configuration already has the same value as the one specified.
        Lazy: Silently skip over instances that already have this configuration at the specified value.
 
    .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.
