202<pre><code class="language-bash">npm uninstall [<@scope>/]<pkg>...
203
204aliases: unlink, remove, rm, r, un
205</code></pre>
206<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
207<p>This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed on its behalf.</p>
208<p>It also removes the package from the <code>dependencies</code>, <code>devDependencies</code>,
209<code>optionalDependencies</code>, and <code>peerDependencies</code> objects in your <code>package.json</code>.</p>
210<p>Further, if you have an <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> or <code>package-lock.json</code>, npm will update those files as well.</p>
211<p><code>--no-save</code> will tell npm not to remove the package from your <code>package.json</code>, <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code>, or <code>package-lock.json</code> files.</p>
212<p><code>--save</code> or <code>-S</code> will tell npm to remove the package from your <code>package.json</code>, <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code>, and <code>package-lock.json</code> files.
213This is the default, but you may need to use this if you have for instance <code>save=false</code> in your <code>npmrc</code> file</p>
214<p>In global mode (ie, with <code>-g</code> or <code>--global</code> appended to the command), it uninstalls the current package context as a global package.
215<code>--no-save</code> is ignored in this case.</p>
216<p>Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for <a href="../using-npm/scope.html"><code>scope</code></a>.</p>
217<h3 id="examples">Examples</h3>
218<pre><code class="language-bash">npm uninstall sax
219</code></pre>
220<p><code>sax</code> will no longer be in your <code>package.json</code>, <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code>, or <code>package-lock.json</code> files.</p>
221<pre><code class="language-bash">npm uninstall lodash --no-save
222</code></pre>
223<p><code>lodash</code> will not be removed from your <code>package.json</code>,
224<code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code>, or <code>package-lock.json</code> files.</p>
225<h3 id="configuration">Configuration</h3>
226<h4 id="save"><code>save</code></h4>
227<ul>
228<li>Default: <code>true</code> unless when using <code>npm update</code> where it defaults to <code>false</code></li>
229<li>Type: Boolean</li>
230</ul>
231<p>Save installed packages to a <code>package.json</code> file as dependencies.</p>
232<p>When used with the <code>npm rm</code> command, removes the dependency from
233<code>package.json</code>.</p>
234<p>Will also prevent writing to <code>package-lock.json</code> if set to <code>false</code>.</p>
235<h4 id="global"><code>global</code></h4>
236<ul>
237<li>Default: false</li>
238<li>Type: Boolean</li>
239</ul>
240<p>Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the <code>prefix</code>
241folder instead of the current working directory. See
242<a href="../configuring-npm/folders.html">folders</a> for more on the differences in behavior.</p>
243<ul>
244<li>packages are installed into the <code>{prefix}/lib/node_modules</code> folder, instead
245of the current working directory.</li>
246<li>bin files are linked to <code>{prefix}/bin</code></li>
247<li>man pages are linked to <code>{prefix}/share/man</code></li>
248</ul>
249<h4 id="workspace"><code>workspace</code></h4>
250<ul>
251<li>Default:</li>
252<li>Type: String (can be set multiple times)</li>
253</ul>
254<p>Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
255current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
256this configuration option.</p>
257<p>Valid values for the <code>workspace</code> config are either:</p>
258<ul>
259<li>Workspace names</li>
260<li>Path to a workspace directory</li>
261<li>Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
262workspaces within that folder)</li>
263</ul>
264<p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a
265workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
266brand new workspace within the project.</p>
267<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
268<h4 id="workspaces"><code>workspaces</code></h4>
269<ul>
270<li>Default: null</li>
271<li>Type: null or Boolean</li>
272</ul>
273<p>Set to true to run the command in the context of <strong>all</strong> configured
274workspaces.</p>
275<p>Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like <code>install</code> to
276ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:</p>
277<ul>
278<li>Commands that operate on the <code>node_modules</code> tree (install, update, etc.)
279will link workspaces into the <code>node_modules</code> folder. - Commands that do
280other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
281<em>unless</em> one or more workspaces are specified in the <code>workspace</code> config.</li>
282</ul>
283<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
284<h4 id="include-workspace-root"><code>include-workspace-root</code></h4>
285<ul>
286<li>Default: false</li>
287<li>Type: Boolean</li>
288</ul>
289<p>Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.</p>
290<p>When false, specifying individual workspaces via the <code>workspace</code> config, or
291all workspaces via the <code>workspaces</code> flag, will cause npm to operate only on
292the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.</p>
293<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
294<h4 id="install-links"><code>install-links</code></h4>
295<ul>
296<li>Default: false</li>
297<li>Type: Boolean</li>
298</ul>
299<p>When set file: protocol dependencies will be packed and installed as regular
300dependencies instead of creating a symlink. This option has no effect on
301workspaces.</p>
