Cant remove dependency from vue project

I installed vue horizontal list dependency in my project (link to the dependency) and now I cannot remove it. I tried running "npm uninstall vue-horizontal-list" many times (I also tried uninstalling it globally and with --save) and it didn't work. I also tried to clean the cache using "npm cache clean --force" and it didn't work. I keep getting this error when I try to run the project:

This dependency was not found:

* vue-horizontal-list in ./node_modules/cache-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--12-0!./node_modules/babel- 
loader/lib!./node_modules/cache-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--0-0!./node_modules/vue-loader/lib??vue-loader-options!./src/views/Profile.vue?vue&type=script&lang=js&

To install it, you can run: npm install --save vue-horizontal-list
Error from chokidar (C:\): Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, lstat 'C:\hiberfil.sys'
Error from chokidar (C:\): Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, lstat 'C:\pagefile.sys'
Error from chokidar (C:\): Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, lstat 'C:\swapfile.sys'

I just want to remove it completely from the project. Any help would be appreciated!

Try npm uninstall nameofDependency. For example I installed a dependency for customizing a scroll bar npm install simplebar-vue --save, now I no longer need so I uninstalled it, using npm uninstall simplebar-vue which is the name of the dependency, then delete from your import from the main.js.

I would suggest to delete node-modules folder first and after that remove the package name from your package.json file. After that simply do a npm install and that should fix your problem. Before installing packages you could also do npm cache clean --force if you want but that does not change so much.
