brew-cask: Uninstall a cask and remove related settings and files.

brew

$ brew zap --cask ${cask_name}

try on your machine

The command "brew zap --cask ${cask_name}" is used in the Homebrew package manager for macOS to uninstall a Cask package.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

"brew" refers to the Homebrew command-line interface (CLI). Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that allows you to easily install, manage, and uninstall software packages on your system.
"zap" is a Homebrew command used to uninstall a package and remove all associated files, configurations, and dependencies.
"--cask" is an optional flag used to specify that the package being uninstalled is a Cask package. Cask is an extension of Homebrew that focuses on managing macOS applications and graphical user interface (GUI) applications.
"${cask_name}" is a placeholder variable that represents the name of the specific Cask package you want to uninstall. You should replace "${cask_name}" with the actual name of the Cask package you want to uninstall when executing the command.

So, when you run the command "brew zap --cask ${cask_name}", Homebrew will uninstall the specified Cask package and remove all associated files and dependencies from your macOS system.
