To uninstall a module using npm, you can use:
npm uninstall moduleName
Also, if you want to uninstall and want the change to be reflected in your package.json then you can use the --save flag, like this:
npm uninstall moduleName --save
OR
npm uninstall -S
And if you want to uninstall a module from devDependencies and want the change to be reflected in package.json then you can use -D flag, like this:
npm uninstall moduleName -D
