Running Garuda Linux GNOME with everything up-to-date till time of post
I have problem in turning off profile-sync-daemon in Garuda Assistant. It is not being turned off anyways. I want to uninstall it. I tried also via systemctl command to stop it and disable from startup but it didn't work. Please help me regarding this!
Can you provide your
garuda-inxi
it may help
systemctl --user disable --now psd
Disable as above 
then
sudo pacman -R profile-sync-daemon
This is how you uninstall any package,
Tried systemctl command but it is not being disabled. Also tried to remove it but it fails and says it is necessary for garuda common settings package. Should I remove garuda-common-settings or it will be required?

Why?
Where is the input and output of the command?
Try:
systemctl --user mask psd
systemctl --user status psd
Post the input and output of the commands?
As you suggested, I tried both commands :
systemctl --user status psd

systemctl --user disable psd

Masked, means it's now dead!!!
Ok Thank you very much. But itās not being uninstalled.

No problem if it canāt be uninstalled. Just asking if itās possible.
Just a formal/format comment 
Please, instead of quoting your text, format it like this:
~~~
text
~~~
Sure thanks for suggestion. Can I know in which cases should I use quoting?
Normally quoting is used for sentences. If from other posts, there is the apposite button, but e.g. sometimes you want to quote a text from an article, etc.
On the other hand, the formatting above is much readable for terminal text, and it also allows copying with a single click.
