I want to remove Java 9 and install Java 10, but I cannot remove it using pacman.

The result of pacman -Q (regarding Java 9):

java-environment-common 3-1
java-runtime-common 3-1
jdk9-openjdk 9.0.4.u11-1
jre9-openjdk 9.0.4.u11-1
jre9-openjdk-headless 9.0.4.u11-1

But when I use sudo pacman -Rsc, it says target not found. Can you help me?

To remove a Java version entirely, do this:

sudo pacman -R jre9-openjdk jdk9-openjdk jre9-openjdk-headless && sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk

Then you can install the newer JDK with

sudo pacman -S jdk10-openjdk

You can see installed Java versions using

archlinux-java status
