If you no longer need to use a package in your code, we recommend uninstalling it and removing it from your project's dependencies.
Uninstalling local packages Removing a local package from your node_modules directoryTo remove a package from your node_modules directory, on the command line, use the uninstall command. Include the scope if the package is scoped.
This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed on its behalf.
It also removes the package from the dependencies, devDependencies, optionalDependencies, and peerDependencies objects in your package.json.
Further, if you have an npm-shrinkwrap.json or package-lock.json, npm will update those files as well.
Unscoped packagenpm uninstall <package_name> Scoped package npm uninstall <@scope/package_name> Example npm uninstall lodash Removing a local package without removing it from package.json
Using the --no-save will tell npm not to remove the package from your package.json, npm-shrinkwrap.json, or package-lock.json files.
npm uninstall --no-save lodash
--save or -S will tell npm to remove the package from your package.json, npm-shrinkwrap.json, and package-lock.json files. This is the default, but you may need to use this if you have for instance save=false in your .npmrc file.
To confirm that npm uninstall worked correctly, check that the node_modules directory no longer contains a directory for the uninstalled package(s).
ls node_modulesdir node_modulesTo uninstall an unscoped global package, on the command line, use the uninstall command with the -g flag. Include the scope if the package is scoped.
npm uninstall -g <package_name> Scoped package npm uninstall -g <@scope/package_name> Example
For example, to uninstall a package called jshint, run:
npm uninstall -g jshint Resources Uninstalling local packages Uninstalling global packages
