How to remove gems from Rails project?

I'm trying to remove a gem from my project so I went into the gem file and commented it out.

...
gem some_gem
# gem 'gem_I_dont_want'
gem another_gem
....

Then I run

bundle

To check that the gem is gone, I type

bundle show

But I still see the gem there

...
* some_gem
* gem_I_dont_want
* another_gem

Am I not understanding how bundle works? Is there something more I'm suppose to do?

The gem could be a dependency of another gem which would explain its presence in bundle show.

If the gem appears indented beneath another gem within the Gemfile.lock file then it would indicate that it's included still because it's a dependency.

There is still this gem until you clean your Bundle using:

bundle clean

But you don't need to fear. It mean that this package is installed but it wouldn't load into your app until you let it.
