opkg: Remove a package.

opkg

$ opkg remove ${package}

try on your machine

The command "opkg remove ${package}" is a syntax used in the Open Package Manager (opkg) to remove a particular package from a Linux-based operating system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"opkg" is the package management system used mostly in embedded Linux distributions like OpenWrt. It allows the installation, upgrade, and removal of software packages on a device.
"remove" is the specific action being performed by opkg. In this case, it is used to uninstall or remove a package from the system.
"${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package that you want to remove. You should replace it with the actual name of the package you wish to uninstall.

For example, if you want to remove a package called "example-package", you would enter: "opkg remove example-package". This command would uninstall the "example-package" from the system, removing all its files and configurations associated with that package.
