Is there a way to "un-render" a bundle of JavaScript files?

Currently, we are bundling Bootstrap files like this:

public class BundleConfig
{
    // For more information on bundling, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301862
    public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
    {
        bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/bootstrap").Include(
                  "~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
                  "~/Scripts/respond.js"));

        bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(
                  "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
                  "~/Content/Site.css"));
    }
}

And we are applying these bundles to our HTML files using this command:

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")

However, we are hoping to move away from using Bootstrap incrementally as we have onboarded a UX/UI expert who doesn't want to use Bootstrap.

Is there any way to undo the @Scripts.Render command or to apply Bootstrap to only a specific portion of a view? Is the @Scripts.Render command inherited by all child partial views?

What @Stephen Muecke commented is absolutely correct. I would like to add few more.

Is there any way to undo the @Scripts.Render command or to apply Bootstrap to only a specific portion of a view?

You cannot undo the rendered scripts. You cannot limit it to a specific portion of a view. And the rendered scripts will be applied to all partials.

Is the @Scripts.Render command inherited by all child partial views?

Yes.

This is what you can do.

  1. Create a different partial for non Bootstrap pages.
  2. Use the same partial and conditionally load this bundle.

We did this for conditional loading. We added a flag in ViewBag.

ViewBag.isBootStrapRequired = true;

In the layout page, we loaded the bundle like this.

if(ViewBag.isBootStrapRequired) {
  @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
}
