I want to check whether a job with specified name is running in powershell, if so remove the job using Remove-Job

$abc={script}

Start-Job $abc -name MyTask

The script runs in the background for a long time and hence I want to remove it when it's still running. when I try to remove the job using Remove-job -name MyTask -force, it throws an error if the job was already removed. So I need an 

If(Check the job name exist)
 {
     Remove-job -name MyTask -force 
 }
