boltctl: Revoke a previously authorized device.
$ boltctl forget ${device_uuid}
try on your machine

The command "boltctl forget ${device_uuid}" is used to remove a device from the Bolt daemon's known devices list.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "boltctl" is a command-line utility in Linux used to manage Thunderbolt devices.
  • "forget" is an action in boltctl used to remove a device from the Bolt daemon's known devices list.
  • "${device_uuid}" is a placeholder for the UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the Thunderbolt device you want to forget. The user needs to replace "${device_uuid}" with the actual UUID of the device they want to remove.

When the command is executed, Bolt will remove the specified device from its known devices list, meaning that it won't be managed or recognized by the Bolt daemon anymore.
