Unless he is looking for `npm prune --production`. Maybe add this as a fifth point to your list? — gwest7, Feb 10 '21 at 09:05

Use command:

1)npm uninstall <name of the module>

Also you can use:

1) npm uninstall <name of the module>: to remove the module from node_modules, but not package.json

2) npm uninstall <name of the module> --save: to also remove it from dependencies in package.json

3) npm uninstall <name of the module> --save-dev: to also remove it from devDependencies in package.json

4) npm -g uninstall <name of the module> --save: to remove it globally
