How to globally uninstall an npm package commitizen?

Question

I'm trying to uninstall a globally installed NPM package named commitizen.

I have tried executing the command below, however; the command fails to return any results.

  npm uninstall -g commitizen

I restarted the machine.

To check whether or not the package was removed I tried running commitizen. I expected an error, as it should have been removed. To my surprise the package executed.

The result of npm list -g --depth 0 or npm list -g commitizen:

The result of npm list -g commitizen:

The result of cd /usr/local/lin/node_modules

So the question is what is the right approach of globally deleting the npm package?

Answer 1

One way to check would be running npm list -g --depth 0 or npm list -g commitizen

If you want to check the package locally, head to /usr/local/lin/node_modules

Answer 2

Uninstalling global packages might answer this question:

"So the question is what is the right approach of globally deleting the npm package?"

In addition, I had a similar problem on windows 10. I solve it just by upgrading npm to the latest version.

Make sure it works with npm ls -g --depth=0 or npm list -g commitizen.

If that still doesn't work try to running npm uninstall -g commitizen one more time.
