FAQ

What package managers are currently supported by remov?

Currently, remov supports npm, yarn, and pnpm

Why are the uninstalled packages still exist on node_modules? I'm using npm by the way.

npm doesn't delete your uninstalled packages, even if the uninstall script completed successfully. You have to manually remove them with npm prune.

yarn and pnpm users won't encounter this issue at all.
