Can an unconfirmed Bitcoin transaction be reversed?

I'm wondering if it's possible to reverse a Bitcoin transaction that hasn't been confirmed yet. I've made a transfer but it's still pending, and I'm hoping there's a way to cancel or reverse it. Can an unconfirmed Bitcoin transaction be reversed?

By doing so, the old transaction is essentially overwritten by the new one.

This process allows users to increase the fee associated with their transaction, making it more attractive to miners.

Replace-By-Fee (RBF) is a mechanism that enables the modification of unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions.

Miners are more likely to prioritize transactions with higher fees, thus increasing the chances of confirmation.

When a Bitcoin transaction remains unconfirmed, it can potentially be canceled through the use of RBF.
