How to remove specific pod without touching other dependencies

Question

I want to remove specific dependency using cocoapods. if I execute pod install, other dependencies are getting updated before removing the dependency I want to delete. I just want to remove specific pod without touching any others. And I know deleting, updating any dependency also updates others. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Actually my problem is when I modify some dependency (AFNetworking for example) and run pod install it reverts back to its original version. But I don't want to lose my changes.

Cocoapod auto generate a Podfile.lock keep all framework's version. When you run pod install, it doesn't update the framework's version. — Quoc Nguyen, May 10 '18 at 04:42
But I modified one dependency and when I run a command like pod install it revert back the changes I made to the original source code of the pod — Pablo Marrufo, May 10 '18 at 04:44
In your case, you should fork the repo to your repo and edit. In the cocoapods file, add options to your edited repo — Quoc Nguyen, May 10 '18 at 04:58

This solution correctly deleted the pod folders from the hard drive, whereas `pod install` on its own removed the pods from Xcode but often left the files in the project folder. – trndjc Aug 31 '18 at 22:56
