How to uninstall npm package?

Question

I\'ve installed grunt using sudo npm install grunt and now I can\'t remove it.

I\'ve tried:

$ sudo npm uninstall grunt
         


        

Answer 1

Running the accepted solution's commands didn't work for me. Running which grunt would result in /usr/local/bin/grunt, but normal (or sudo) npm uninstall -g grunt-cli had no effect.

This is the command that finally worked for me:

sudo npm uninstall grunt-cli -g --prefix=/usr/local
