<h1><a href="../cli/npm-uninstall.html">npm-uninstall</a></h1> <p>Remove a package</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm uninstall [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]... [-S|--save|-D|--save-dev|-O|--save-optional|--no-save]
aliases: remove, rm, r, un, unlink</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed
on its behalf.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>npm uninstall sax</code></pre><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.</p>
<p><code>npm uninstall</code> takes 3 exclusive, optional flags which save or update
the package version in your main package.json:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>-S, --save</code>: Package will be removed from your <code>dependencies</code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>-D, --save-dev</code>: Package will be removed from your <code>devDependencies</code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>-O, --save-optional</code>: Package will be removed from your <code>optionalDependencies</code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>--no-save</code>: Package will not be removed from your <code>package.json</code> file.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Further, if you have an <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> then it will be updated as
well.</p>
<p>Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for <code><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html">npm-scope(7)</a></code>.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<pre><code>npm uninstall sax --save
npm uninstall @myorg/privatepackage --save
npm uninstall node-tap --save-dev
npm uninstall dtrace-provider --save-optional
npm uninstall lodash --no-save</code></pre><h2 id="see-also">SEE ALSO</h2>
