How do I remove extraneous packages with npm?

If I run npm ls at the top level of my project, I get a number of extraneous errors. I tried running npm prune but when I run npm ls again the packages are still there.

How do I remove those extraneous packages?

I have package-lock file and I'm running npm 6.4.1.

First, did you do a npm i to be sure to install all the packages? You can also delete your node_modules folder and your package-lock.json file to have a clean install.

Then if you want to remove packages, you need to npm uninstall them or manually remove them from your package.json file, then re-do a npm i.
