function Remove-DbaDbMasterKey {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Deletes specified database master key
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Deletes specified database master key
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Allows you to login to SQL Server using alternative credentials
 
    .PARAMETER Database
        The database where the master key will be removed.
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
        List of databases to exclude from clearing all master keys
 
    .PARAMETER All
        Purge the master keys from all databases on an instance
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Enables pipeline input from Get-DbaDatabase
 
    .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.
 
    .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.
