fprintd-delete: Remove all fingerprints for a specific user.
$ fprintd-delete ${username}
try on your machine

The command "fprintd-delete" is used to delete a fingerprint stored for a specific user.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "fprintd-delete": This is the command itself, which is used to interact with the fingerprint authentication system.
  • "${username}": This is a placeholder for the actual username of the user whose fingerprint data you want to delete. You need to replace "${username}" with the actual username (without the dollar sign $).

When you execute this command in the terminal or command line, it will delete the stored fingerprint data for the specified user.
