modprobe: Remove a module from the kernel.

modprobe

$ sudo modprobe --remove ${module_name}

try on your machine

The command "sudo modprobe --remove ${module_name}" is used to remove a kernel module from the Linux kernel. Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

"sudo" : It is a command that allows the user to execute a command as a superuser or another user with elevated privileges. The "sudo" command gives the required permissions to remove the module.
"modprobe" : It is a command used to add or remove modules (drivers) from the kernel.
"--remove" : This option is used to remove the specified module from the kernel.
"${module_name}" : It is a placeholder for the actual name of the module that you want to remove. You need to replace "${module_name}" in the command with the actual name of the module.

So, when you run the command "sudo modprobe --remove ${module_name}", it removes the specified module from the Linux kernel, and you need to replace "${module_name}" with the name of the module you want to remove.
