To uninstall a package you have previously installed locally (using npm install <package-name>
in the node_modules
folder, run
npm uninstall <package-name>
from the project root folder (the folder that contains the node_modules folder).
Using the -S
flag, or --save
, this operation will also remove the reference in the package.json
file.
If the package was a development dependency, listed in the devDependencies of the package.json
file, you must use the -D
/ --save-dev
flag to remove it from the file:
npm uninstall -S <package-name>
npm uninstall -D <package-name>
If the package is installed globally , you need to add the -g
/ --global
flag:
npm uninstall -g <package-name>
for example:
npm uninstall -g webpack
and you can run this command from anywhere you want on your system because the folder where you currently are does not matter.
