    [ , [ @reserved= ] 'reserved' ] 
    [ , [ @ignore_distributor = ] ignore_distributor ]

[ @subscriber= ] 'subscriber': Is the name of the Subscriber to be dropped. subscriber is sysname, with no default.

[ @reserved= ] 'reserved': For internal use only.

[ @ignore_distributor = ] ignore_distributor: For internal use only.
