You don't need to; having IPv6 active doesn't cause any problem even
if you don't have a default route that supports IPv6. If it does
cause a problem then there is a misconfiguration to be solved. You are
wasting your time and introducing more places where you can make a
configuration error resulting in yet another of your megathreads¹.

However, if for your own eccentric reasons you insist:

# echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1' > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf

will disable it from the next boot.

You can use:

# sysctl --system

to re-apply all sysctl configs immediately, so disabling IPv6
without needing to reboot.

The first google hit for "debian disable IPv6" is:

    https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/debian/how-to-disable-ipv6-on-debian-9-ubuntu-16-04.html

which includes the above method. It's not a great page but it does
contain that info.

So even this highly unusual requirement has a very easy to find
solution.

Andy
