yarn remove

Terminal window
yarn remove

This command will remove the packages matching the specified patterns from the current workspace.

If the --mode= option is set, Yarn will change which artifacts are generated. The modes currently supported are:

  • skip-build will not run the build scripts at all. Note that this is different from setting enableScripts to false because the latter will disable build scripts, and thus affect the content of the artifacts generated on disk, whereas the former will just disable the build step but not the scripts themselves, which just won’t run.

  • update-lockfile will skip the link step altogether, and only fetch packages that are missing from the lockfile (or that have no associated checksums). This mode is typically used by tools like Renovate or Dependabot to keep a lockfile up-to-date without incurring the full install cost.

This command accepts glob patterns as arguments. Make sure to escape the patterns, to prevent your own shell from trying to expand them.
