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 Databases
The database name to remove or an array of database names eg $Databases = 'DB1','DB2','DB3'
 
.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 Silent
Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages
