zoxide: Remove a directory from `zoxide`'s database interactively.
$ zoxide remove ${path-to-directory} --interactive
try on your machine

The command "zoxide remove ${path-to-directory} --interactive" is used to remove a specified directory from zoxide's database interactively.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

  • "zoxide": It is the name of the command-line tool (zoxide) being used in this command. Zoxide is a smarter way to navigate your file system from the command line, keeping track of your most frequently used directories.

  • "remove": It is a subcommand provided by zoxide to remove a directory from its database.

  • "${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder that represents the path to the directory you want to remove from zoxide's database. You need to replace this with the actual path to the directory. For example, if you want to remove the directory "/home/user/documents", you would replace "${path-to-directory}" with "/home/user/documents".

  • "--interactive": This flag makes the command interactive, meaning it will prompt you for confirmation before actually removing the directory from zoxide's database. This can be useful to avoid accidentally removing directories.

Overall, the command "zoxide remove ${path-to-directory} --interactive" removes the specified directory from zoxide's database and asks for your confirmation before doing so.
