bluetoothctl: Remove a device.
$ bluetoothctl remove ${mac_address}
try on your machine
The command bluetoothctl remove ${mac_address}
is used to remove a Bluetooth device from the list of paired devices on a Linux system.
Let's break down the command into its components:
bluetoothctl
is the command-line utility in Linux used to interact with the Bluetooth controller.remove
is the command withinbluetoothctl
that instructs the Bluetooth controller to remove a paired device.${mac_address}
is a placeholder for the actual MAC address of the Bluetooth device you want to remove. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to each Bluetooth device. You need to replace${mac_address}
with the appropriate value. For example,00:1A:7D:DA:71:13
is a sample MAC address.
When you run this command, it tells the Bluetooth controller to remove the paired device with the specified MAC address from the list of paired devices. After executing the command, the Bluetooth device will no longer be recognized as paired, and you will need to go through the pairing process again if you want to connect it in the future.
