pacman-remove: Remove a package and its dependencies.

pacman

$ sudo pacman --remove --recursive ${package_name}

try on your machine

This command is used in a Linux system with the Pacman package manager to remove a package and its dependencies from the system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

sudo: It is a command that allows the user to execute a command with administrative or superuser rights. In Linux, it stands for "Superuser Do" and is used to gain elevated privileges to perform actions that regular users cannot.
pacman: It is the package manager used in Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions. This command is used to interact with the package manager and manage software packages in the system.
--remove: This option is used with the pacman command to indicate that the specified package should be removed from the system.
--recursive: This option is used to remove not only the specified package but also its dependencies. When a package is removed, any other packages that depend on it will also be removed.
${package_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to remove. You need to replace ${package_name} with the actual name of the package you want to remove. For example, if you want to remove a package named "example-package", you would replace ${package_name} with "example-package".

By running this command with the appropriate package name, you can remove the specified package and its dependencies from your Linux system.
