How to clean node_modules folder of packages that are not in package.json?

Question

Assume I install project packages with npm install that looks into package.json for modules to be installed. After a while I see that I don\'t need

Answer 1

I have added few lines inside package.json:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "clean": "rmdir /s /q node_modules",
  "reinstall": "npm run clean && npm install",
  "rebuild": "npm run clean && npm install && rmdir /s /q dist && npm run build --prod",
  ...
}

If you want to clean only you can use this rimraf node_modules or rm -rf node_modules.

It works fine
