    .SYNOPSIS
    Removes a certificate from a store for the user or machine account.
     
    .DESCRIPTION
    The `Uninstall-Certificate` function uses .NET's certificates API to remove a certificate from a given store for the machine or current user. Use the thumbprint to identify which certificate to remove. The thumbprint is unique to each certificate. The user performing the removal must have read and write permission on the store where the certificate is located.
 
    If the certificate isn't in the store, nothing happens, not even an error.
 
    To uninstall a certificate from a remote computer, use the `Session`parameter, which was added in Carbon 2.1.0. You can create a new session with the `New-PSSession` cmdlet.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    > Uninstall-Certificate -Thumbprint 570895470234023dsaaefdbcgbefa -StoreLocation CurrentUser -StoreName My
     
    Removes the 570895470234023dsaaefdbcgbefa certificate from the current user's Personal certificate store.
     
    .EXAMPLE
    > $cert = Get-Certificate -FriendlyName 'Carbon Testing Certificate' -StoreLocation LocalMachine -StoreName Root
    > Uninstall-Certificate -Certificate $cert -StoreLocation LocalMachine -StoreName Root
     
    Removes the certificate with friendly name 'Carbon Testing Certificate' from the local machine's Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Uninstall-Certificate -Thumbprint 570895470234023dsaaefdbcgbefa -StoreLocation LocalMachine -StoreName 'SharePoint'
 
    Demonstrates how to uninstall a certificate from a custom, non-standard store.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    > Uninstall-Certificate -Thumbprint 570895470234023dsaaefdbcgbefa -StoreLocation CurrentUser -StoreName My -Session (New-PSSession -ComputerName remote1,remote2)
     
    Demonstrates how to uninstall a certificate from a remote computer.
