			npm-uninstall(1) -- Remove a package
			=============================

			## SYNOPSIS

			npm uninstall [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]... [-S\|--save\|-D\|--save-dev\|-O\|--save-optional]

			aliases: remove, rm, r, un, unlink

			## DESCRIPTION

			This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed
			on its behalf.

			Example:

			npm uninstall sax

			In global mode (ie, with `-g` or `--global` appended to the command),
			it uninstalls the current package context as a global package.

			`npm uninstall` takes 3 exclusive, optional flags which save or update
			the package version in your main package.json:

			* `-S, --save`: Package will be removed from your `dependencies`.

			* `-D, --save-dev`: Package will be removed from your `devDependencies`.

			* `-O, --save-optional`: Package will be removed from your `optionalDependencies`.

			Further, if you have an `npm-shrinkwrap.json` then it will be updated as
			well.

			Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for `npm-scope(7)`.

			Examples:

			npm uninstall sax --save
			npm uninstall @myorg/privatepackage --save
			npm uninstall node-tap --save-dev
			npm uninstall dtrace-provider --save-optional
