zypper: Remove a package.
$ zypper remove ${package}
try on your machine

The command "zypper remove ${package}" is used in the Zypper package manager on Linux systems to remove a specified package.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "zypper": This is the command-line interface for the Zypper package manager, which is commonly used on openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise systems.
  • "remove": This is the sub-command telling Zypper to remove a package.
  • "${package}": This is a placeholder indicating the name of the package to be removed. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to uninstall. For example, if you want to remove the package called "example-package", the command would be "zypper remove example-package".

When executed, Zypper will search for the specified package and remove it from the system if it is found. This action typically involves uninstalling the package files and dependencies, freeing up disk space and removing any associated configurations.
