Representation of skillpoints on LaTeX

Question

I would like to insert a section in my curriculum vitae where my skills are graphically represented(I’m using this template -> it.overleaf.com/latex/templates/forty-seconds-cv/pztcktmyngsk). Since the spaces are limited I would like to delete the image that precedes the description of the skill (which in this case is the blue arrow). How could I do ?

% uniform icon style for all skill icons, e.g. flags or fontawesome icons
    newcommand{cvicon}[1]{makebox[1em]{color{iconcolor} #1}}


% pointskill[<indent>]{<description>}{<points>}[<maxpoints>] creates
% | [indent] description  hfill  ● ● ● ○ ○ |
% -- inspired by arravc.cls by LianTze Lim: https://github.com/liantze/AltaCV
NewDocumentCommand{pointskill}{ O{0em} m m m O{5} }{%
    hspace{#1} cvicon{#2} ~ #3 hfill%
    foreach x in {1,...,#5}{%
        space%
        {ifnumgreater{x}{#4}{color{skillbg}}{color{iconcolor}}% from etoolbox
        % don't use totalheight; see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/41014
        raisebox{0.5height-0.4ex}{scriptsizefaCircle}%
        }
    }par%
}

graphic example of how it looks if I call pointskill{►}{Python}{3} :

You can update the definition of pointskill to ignore whatever is supplied as the second argument (noting that the first is optional):
NewDocumentCommand{pointskill}{ O{0em} m m m O{5} }{%
    hspace{#1}#3 hfill%
    foreach x in {1,...,#5}{%
        space%
        {ifnumgreater{x}{#4}{color{skillbg}}{color{iconcolor}}% from etoolbox
        % don't use totalheight; see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/41014
        raisebox{0.5height-0.4ex}{scriptsizefaCircle}%
        }
    }par%
}

You'll see there's no use of #2 in the above definition, so you can still call it using
pointskill{►}{Python}{3}

If you which to fully remove the option of passing a preceding icon, then use
NewDocumentCommand{pointskill}{ O{0em} m m O{5} }{%
    hspace{#1}#2 hfill%
    foreach x in {1,...,#4}{%
        space%
        {ifnumgreater{x}{#3}{color{skillbg}}{color{iconcolor}}% from etoolbox
        % don't use totalheight; see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/41014
        raisebox{0.5height-0.4ex}{scriptsizefaCircle}%
        }
    }par%
}
