Removes a junction.
Remove-Junction [-Path] <String> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
Remove-Junction -LiteralPath <String> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]Remove-Junction removes an existing junction.
In Carbon 2.1.1 and earlier, the Path paramater does not support wildcard characters, nor can it delete junctions that contained wildcards.
Carbon 2.2.0 added support for wildcards in the Path parameter. If using wildcards, if the wildcard pattern doesn't match any junctions, nothing is removed and you'll get no errors. If the Path parameter does not contain wildcards, Path must exist and must be a path to a junction.
Carbon 2.2.0 also added the LiteralPath parameter. Use it to delete junctions whose path contains wildcard characters.
