Do I have to manually uninstall all dependent gems?

Question

I tried to uninstall datamapper using the command gem uninstall dm-core.

But it seems that a whole bunch of dependent gems also need to be uninstalled.

Answer 1

As far as I know you're correct, there is not an easy way built-in to the gem command to do this.

However, you can check out gem-prune which can help clean up your gem repository after you've removed dm-core.
