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

This command is a sudo command, which means it will be executed with administrator privileges.

The command pacman is the package manager used in Arch Linux and its derivatives, including Manjaro. It is used to manage software packages on the system.

The --remove option is used to remove packages from the system.

The --recursive option specifies that all dependencies of the given package should also be removed. This ensures that any packages that depend on the specified package are also removed.

The --nosave option is used to prevent saving any changes made to the system configuration files associated with the package being removed.

${package_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to remove.

So, overall, this command removes the specified package and all its dependencies from the system, without saving any changes made to configuration files.
