Answer by Ehsan for How to uninstall npm modules in node js?

Well to give a complete answer to this question, there are two methods: (for example we call the installed module as module1)

1. To remove module1 without changing package.json:

   npm uninstall module1

2. To remove module1 with changing package.json, and removing it from the dependencies in package.json:

   npm uninstall --save module1

Note: to simplify the above mentioned commands, you can use -S instead of --save , and can use remove, rm, r, un, unlink instead of uninstall
