function Remove-DbaDbSnapshot {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Removes database snapshots
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Removes (drops) database snapshots from the server
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
 
        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
 
        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
 
    .PARAMETER Database
        Removes snapshots for only this specific base db
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
        Removes snapshots excluding this specific base dbs
 
    .PARAMETER Snapshot
        Restores databases from snapshot with this name only
 
    .PARAMETER AllSnapshots
        Specifies that you want to remove all snapshots from the server
 
    .PARAMETER Force
        Will forcibly kill all running queries that prevent the drop process.
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        Shows what would happen if the command were to run
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        Prompts for confirmation of every step.
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Enables input from Get-DbaDbSnapshot
 
    .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.
