How to uninstall a library from a node project?
1
To uninstall a package you have previously installed locally (using npm install <package-name> in the node_modules folder, run following in your project terminal:
npm uninstall <package-name>
This command will remove the library from node_modules folder and it will also remove the reference in the package.json file.
If the package is installed globally, you need to add the -g / --global flag:
npm uninstall -g <package-name>
for example:
npm uninstall -g bcrypt
and you can run this command from anywhere you want on your system because the folder where you currently are does not matter.
