I have been trying to remove a dependency from a build and it continues to install even when it is not specified in the Pipfile (i.e: depdendency = "*"). I can say pipenv uninstall dependency , but that will uninstall it from the venv not the Pipfile.lock file. If anyone knows how to solve this issue I will be all ears.
you can manually remove the lines from your Pipfile then run
pipenv update
pipenv clean
the update will update your Pipfile.lock then the clean will remove the installed dependencies
