brew uninstall --cask mactex fails

[mwparis]

Verification

• I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.
• I have retried my command with --force.
• I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
• I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
• I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
• I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match / SHA256 mismatch error (do not open an issue before trying to open a PR to fix first).

Description of issue

Unable to uninstall mactex with any combination of commands attempted including the "Command that failed" combined with --force and having run brew update-reset && brew and brew doctor. I've searched for related, recent bugs but the closest is from 2017 with brew cask syntax.

Are your account sudoer?

Thanks. I must have been entering the 'wrong' password when prompted from an account in 'sudoers'; trying again from that account resolved it.
