tell npm install to get rid of no longer needed dependencies

I added a couple of libraries to my package.json file, but now I found out I no longer need them

Is there some command line parameter to pass to npm install to tell it to remove no longer needed packages? that is, those packages in node_modules that are no longer in package.json

Or shall I just remove the node_modules folder and run npm install once again... (I was hoping for a smarter solution)

--

I found out that npm ls correctly recognizes no longer needed libraries as extraneous

You can do npm prune to remove extraneous packages. Link to docs.
