fprintd-delete

Remove all fingerprints for a specific user

$ fprintd-delete [username]

$ fprintd-delete [username] -f [left-thumb|left-index-finger|right-thumb|...]

$ fprintd-delete

fprintd-delete [options] username

fprintd-delete removes enrolled fingerprint data from the fprintd database. Without the --finger option, all fingerprints for the specified user are removed.
This command communicates with the fprintd daemon via D-Bus to perform the deletion. Fingerprint data is stored in /var/lib/fprint and requires appropriate permissions to modify.

-f, --finger FINGER

Specify which finger to delete: left-thumb, left-index-finger, left-middle-finger, left-ring-finger, left-little-finger, right-thumb, right-index-finger, right-middle-finger, right-ring-finger, right-little-finger

Deleting fingerprints cannot be undone. Users must re-enroll their fingerprints using fprintd-enroll if needed. Root privileges may be required to delete fingerprints for other users.
