How to remove angular-fontawesome from a project?

I installed Angular fontawesome with this command found here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fortawesome/angular-fontawesome

ng add @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome@6

My problem is I realized I wanted to change into Font Awesome's SCSS version and now I'd like to remove Angular Fontawesome (and the icons) from my project.

So far, I've tried these following commands

npm uninstall @fortawesome/fontawesome

npm uninstall @fortawesome/fontawesome6

npm uninstall @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome

Yet some of the dependencies still remain in my package-lock.json:

"@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core": "^6.2.1",
"@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons": "^6.2.1",
"@fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons": "^6.2.1",
"@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons": "^6.2.1",
Solution

  • The way I do it is to delete the node_modules folder, remove what I don't want to have in the package.json and delete the package-lock.json.

    Then I run npm install again and it generates a new package-lock.json and the node_modules folder will contain everything remaining in the package.json.
