💖 FLATPAK-REMOTE-DELETE 💖

okay bestie, so this one is a flatpak manual page — it lives in section 1 (that's the (1) btw, that's just how man pages do, iykyk) and its whole name is flatpak-remote-delete. she's the one you call when a remote repo has gotta go. 🗑️✨

✨ NAME ✨

flatpak-remote-delete — delete a remote repository 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flatpak remote-delete [OPTION...] NAME

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this command removes a remote repository from the flatpak repository configuration. gone. deleted. not invited to the group chat anymore. 💅

NAME is the name of an existing remote — like, you can't delete a remote that isn't there, that's not the vibe.

And now the part that lowkey matters: unless you override it with --system, --user, or --installation, this command goes with either the default system-wide installation or the per-user one — which one depends on which of those actually has the remote you named. so it peeks at both, finds where REMOTE is living, and handles it there. main character detective energy fr. 🔍

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

here's everything she understands, bestie:

• -h, --help — show help options and dip. that's it, that's the whole job. 🎀
• -u, --user — modify the per-user configuration.
• --system — modify the default system-wide configuration.
• --installation=NAME — modify a system-wide installation specified by NAME, picked from the ones defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. oh and heads up: using --installation=default is exactly equivalent to using --system. same thing, different outfit. ✨
• --force — remove the remote even if it's in use by installed apps or runtimes. yeah she said what she said. this one does not ask permission, so know what you're doing before you type it. 💀
• -v, --verbose — print debug information while the command is processing. for when you wanna see everything happening behind the scenes. 👑
• --ostree-verbose — print OSTree debug information while the command is processing. extra deep lore, for the ones who need it. 🧚
