function Remove-VerkadaHelixEvent{
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
        Deletes a Helix event using https://apidocs.verkada.com/reference/deletevideotaggingeventviewv1

        .DESCRIPTION
        This method can be used to delete a Helix event from Command. The required parameter to successfully delete a Helix event are the associated Camera ID, API Token with Helix permissions, Event Type UID, and the exact event epoch time in milliseconds.
        The org_id and reqired token can be directly submitted as parameters, but is much easier to use Connect-Verkada to cache this information ahead of time and for subsequent commands.

        .EXAMPLE
        Remove-VerkadaHelixEvent -camera_id 6b8731d7-d991-4206-ba71-b5446fa617fc -event_type_uid cf918b16-26cd-4c01-a672-5a91b79311e1 -timeStamp '1/1/2025 08:35:00 -06'
        This will delete the helix event for Jan 1, 2025 at 8:35 AM CST for the sepcified camera, and event ID. The org_id and token will be populated from the cached created by Connect-Verkada.

        .EXAMPLE
        Remove-VerkadaHelixEvent -camera_id 6b8731d7-d991-4206-ba71-b5446fa617fc -event_type_uid cf918b16-26cd-4c01-a672-5a91b79311e1 -timeStamp '1/1/2025 08:35:00 -06' -org_id '7cd47706-f51b-4419-8675-3b9f0ce7c12d' -x_verkada_auth_api 'sd78ds-uuid-of-verkada-token'
        This will delete the helix event for Jan 1, 2025 at 8:35 AM CST for the sepcified camera, and event ID. The org_id and token are submitted as parameters in the call.
