Description
If you pair the Dual Sense controller with another machine and want to use it again on Lakka, you have to remove it via bluetoothctl and pair it again. Since this is a tedious process that might overwhelm some users, I suggest that devices should able to be removed from the frontend directly.

Research direction
Start by locating RetroArch's frontend code for Bluetooth device management and its use of bluetoothctl. Trace how paired Dual Sense devices are currently listed and removed outside the frontend. Done means users can remove a paired device from the frontend without manually invoking bluetoothctl and can pair it again on Lakka.
