\fBnpm-uninstall\fR \- Remove a package
.SS Synopsis
.P
.RS 2
.nf
npm uninstall [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]\.\.\. [\-S|\-\-save|\-\-no\-save]
aliases: remove, rm, r, un, unlink
.fi
.RE
.SS Description
.P
This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed
on its behalf\.
.P
It also removes the package from the \fBdependencies\fP, \fBdevDependencies\fP,
\fBoptionalDependencies\fP, and \fBpeerDependencies\fP objects in your
\fBpackage\.json\fP\|\.
.P
Futher, if you have an \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP or \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP, npm
will update those files as well\.
.P
\fB\-\-no\-save\fP will tell npm not to remove the package from your
\fBpackage\.json\fP, \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP, or \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP files\.
.P
\fB\-\-save\fP or \fB\-S\fP will tell npm to remove the package from your
\fBpackage\.json\fP, \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP, and \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP files\.
This is the default, but you may need to use this if you have for
instance \fBsave=false\fP in your \fBnpmrc\fP file
.P
In global mode (ie, with \fB\-g\fP or \fB\-\-global\fP appended to the command),
it uninstalls the current package context as a global package\.
\fB\-\-no\-save\fP is ignored in this case\.
.P
Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for npm help \fBscope\fP\|\.

.P
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option\.
.P
Valid values for the \fBworkspace\fP config are either:
.RS 0
.IP \(bu 2
Workspace names
.IP \(bu 2
Path to a workspace directory
.IP \(bu 2
Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
workspaces within that folder)
.RE
.P
When set for the \fBnpm init\fP command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project\.
.P
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes\.

.IP \(bu 2
Default: null
.IP \(bu 2
Type: null or Boolean
.RE
.P
Set to true to run the command in the context of \fBall\fR configured
workspaces\.
.P
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like \fBinstall\fP to
ignore workspaces altogether\. When not set explicitly:
.RS 0
.IP \(bu 2
Commands that operate on the \fBnode_modules\fP tree (install, update, etc\.)
will link workspaces into the \fBnode_modules\fP folder\. \- Commands that do
other things (test, exec, publish, etc\.) will operate on the root project,
\fIunless\fR one or more workspaces are specified in the \fBworkspace\fP config\.

.RS 0
.IP \(bu 2
Default: false
.IP \(bu 2
Type: Boolean
.RE
.P
Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command\.
.P
When false, specifying individual workspaces via the \fBworkspace\fP config, or
all workspaces via the \fBworkspaces\fP flag, will cause npm to operate only on
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project\.
