In this article, you will learn how to Uninstall npm package globally and locally. npm is the package manager for the Node JavaScript platform. It puts modules in place so that node can find them, and manages dependency conflicts intelligently.  To remove a package you can use the uninstall command. To install npm refer to Downloading and installing Node.js and npm.

There are two ways as follows:-

• npm, uninstall global.
• npm, uninstall local.

Uninstall Local Packages

To uninstall a package that was installed locally (using npm install  and stored in the node_modules directory), use this command:

$ npm uninstall 

After that command is run, the package will no longer be in your node_modules folder.

To also remove the package from the dependencies list in your package.json file, you can use either the -S or --save flag:

$ npm uninstall  --save
$ npm uninstall -S 

If the package is a devDependency, you can remove it from the package.json file with the -D or --save-dev flags:

$ npm uninstall  --save-dev
$ npm uninstall -D 

Uninstall Global Packages

Last, you can remove any npm package you’ve installed globally with the -g flag:

$ npm uninstall -g 

The global uninstall command will work from wherever you call it on your machine.
