Upgrade status must be uninstalled before upgrading to Drupal 10

Hi all

I am upgrading from 9.5 to 10 and /admin/reports/upgrade-status tells me I am 100% ready.

https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/10.0.0 → says

To update your site and all dependencies to the latest version of Drupal:

$ composer update "drupal/core-*" --with-all-dependencies

But I think first I need to remove upgrade_status because it is not D10 compatible.

So I have uninstalled upgrade_status at /admin/modules/uninstall

But then $ composer remove drupal/upgrade_status fails (see below)

Any suggestions please?

$ composer remove drupal/upgrade_status
./composer.json has been updated

Make sure you list it as an argument for the update command.
  Problem 2
    - Root composer.json requires drupal/core-composer-scaffold ^10.0, found drupal/core-composer-scaffold[10.0.0-alpha1, ..., 10.1.x-dev] but the package is fixed to 9.5.0 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match. Make sure you list it as an argument for the update command.
  Problem 3
    - Root composer.json requires drupal/core-project-message ^10.0, found drupal/core-project-message[10.0.0-alpha1, ..., 10.1.x-dev] but the package is fixed to 9.5.0 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match.

  Problem 4

  Problem 5
    - Root composer.json requires drupal/core-dev ^10.0, found drupal/core-dev[10.0.0-alpha1, ..., 10.1.x-dev] but the package is fixed to 9.5.0 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match. Make sure you list it as an argument for the update command.

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.

Removal failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.
Removal failed, drupal/upgrade_status is still present, it may be required by another package. See `composer why drupal/upgrade_status`.
$ composer why drupal/upgrade_status
