PowerShell - Wait for Retract / Uninstall before Remove

This is a very small tip for SharePoint developers. Basically people hate PowerShell before knowing it. But you will love it once you start using it. Sooooo Comfortable.

So, as a part of PowerShell commands, we have UnInstall-SPSolution command for retracting a SharePoint solution and Remove-SPSolution command to remove the solution from any scope.

When you execute these commands in a sequence in a script (.ps1) file, Usually we end up with an error saying
 Remove-SPSolution : The solution "XXXX.wsp" has been deployed in the farm. Please retract the deployment before removing the solution.You can also use the
-override parameter to forcibly remove the solution, but you will not be able to retract the solution deployment.
