Pip can't uninstall pdfminer.six

I am trying to uninstall pdfminer.six package with pip. I execute the command:

pip uninstall pdfminer.six

The full output is as follows:

Found existing installation: pdfminer.six -VERSION-
Uninstalling pdfminer.six--VERSION-:
  Would remove:
    /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pdfminer
    /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pdfminer.six-_VERSION_.egg-info
Proceed (Y/n)? Y

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Same error [Errno 13] Permission denied happens when I try to uninstall some other pdf-related packages, such as ocrmypdf and pikepdf (only the file that the system can't access is different). What is the problem? How can I uninstall the packages?

Some details:

python version according to python3 -V is Python 3.10.12;
pip version according to pip -V is pip 25.0.

UPD: Thank you for all the answers! Before posting the questions, I have tried:

sudo pip uninstall pdfminer.six
This didn't work and the error was printed:

WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv

sudo apt remove python3-pdfminer.six, sudo apt remove python-pdfminer.six
This didn't work. The package was not found.

I should have put it initially in the question. My apologies.

Solution

Packages in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ are installed either by the system package manager (apt/apt-get/etc in your case) or by pip. Whatever was the installation method root access is required so it either was sudo apt installorsudo pip install`.

To uninstall you also need root. If it was an apt-installed package its name is python3-pdfminer. If it was pip-installed the package is named pdfminer.six. So try one of these commands:

sudo apt remove python3-pdfminer
sudo pip uninstall pdfminer.six
