Uninstalling the Plugin gives Error: Variable(s) missing (use: --variable URL_SCHEME=value --variable DEEPLINK_HOST=value)

[Mr-Anonymous]

I have ionic 6 and when I installed this plugin I noticed these 2 things:

1. After installation, the noticed that the config.xml file is not updated with the deeplinks plugin details like it used to before.

2. When I try to uninstall the plugin, I then get the following error message:

$ ionic cordova plugin rm ionic-plugin-deeplinks
> cordova plugin remove ionic-plugin-deeplinks
Variable(s) missing (use: --variable URL_SCHEME=value --variable DEEPLINK_HOST=value).

  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────

     Ionic CLI update available: 6.18.1 → 6.18.2
          Run npm i -g @ionic/cli to update

  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────

[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.
        
        cordova plugin remove ionic-plugin-deeplinks exited with exit code 1.
        
        Re-running this command with the --verbose flag may provide more information.

I install the plugin using this command:

ionic cordova plugin add ionic-plugin-deeplinks --variable URL_SCHEME=mywebsite --variable DEEPLINK_SCHEME=https --variable DEEPLINK_HOST=www.mywebsite.com.au --variable ANDROID_PATH_PREFIX=/
