This is the solution to remove Puppet from Foreman 3.18:

1. Remove puppet-plugins using foreman-installer:

sudo foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-plugin-puppet   --no-enable-foreman-cli-puppet   --foreman-proxy-puppet false   --foreman-proxy-puppetca false   --no-enable-puppet   --puppet-server false

2. Remove Puppet plugin data

sudo foreman-maintain plugin purge-puppet --remove-all-data

This is the output from my system:
