How to unlink the local package?

Question

I linked a locally developed package using NPM link command. Since then, I am not able to unlink it back.

I am on Windows 10.

I have tried:

1. npm unlink
2. npm remove
3. npm uninstall
4. Completely wipe out npm caches and global repo.

I would expect the package will be installed from the NPM network repo now, as I have:

"dependencies": {
    "package": "^version"
}

in my package.json file, but it is still installing the local linked version. Where does NPM store links?

Answer 1

cd $(npm root -g)
rm -rf <package>
