pacman-remove: Remove a package without prompting.
$ sudo pacman --remove --noconfirm ${package_name}
try on your machine

This command is specifically for a Linux distribution that uses the Pacman package manager, such as Arch Linux or Manjaro.

"sudo" is a command that runs another command with administrative privileges. It allows you to execute the subsequent command as the superuser or root.

"pacman" is the package manager used in Arch-based distributions. It is used for installing, upgrading, and removing software packages.

"--remove" is an option for pacman, which specifies that the package following it should be removed from the system.

"--noconfirm" is another option for pacman that suppresses any interactive confirmation prompts. By using this option, you acknowledge that the command will execute without asking for confirmation. This can be useful when scripting or automating package removal.

"${package_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the package that you want to remove. You would replace it with the actual name of the package you wish to uninstall from the system.

Therefore, the command "sudo pacman --remove --noconfirm ${package_name}" will remove the specified package from the system without asking for confirmation.
