trust: Remove a specific anchor from the trust policy store.
$ trust anchor --remove ${path-to-certificate-crt}
try on your machine

The "trust anchor --remove" command is used to remove a trust anchor from a trust store or certificate authority (CA) store.

A trust anchor is a trusted root certificate or public key that is used to verify the authenticity of certificates within a public key infrastructure (PKI) system. These trust anchors establish a chain of trust, where each certificate in the chain is signed by the private key of the next certificate in the chain, ultimately leading back to the trust anchor.

In this specific command, the "${path-to-certificate-crt}" represents the path or location of the certificate file that you want to remove from the trust anchor.

By executing this command, the specified certificate will be removed from the trust anchor list, and it will no longer be considered as a trusted root certificate when validating other certificates in the PKI system.
