Completely removes SqlWatch monitoring solution from a SQL Server instance
Performs a complete uninstallation of the SqlWatch performance monitoring solution by removing all associated database objects, SQL Agent jobs, and historical data. This includes dropping all SqlWatch tables (containing performance metrics history), views, stored procedures, functions, Extended Events sessions, Service Broker components, assemblies, and user-defined table types. The function also unpublishes the SqlWatch DACPAC registration to ensure clean removal. Use this when decommissioning SqlWatch or preparing for a fresh installation after configuration issues.

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.
