Uninstalling npm packages
To uninstall a package you have previously installed locally (using npm install <package-name> in the node_modules folder, run
BASHnpm 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.
package.json will be automatically updated with devDependency and dependency once you uninstall npm package.
If the package is installed globally, you need to add the -g / --global flag:
BASHnpm uninstall -g <package-name>
for example:
BASHnpm 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.
