$ nm rm module-name
module-name removed
$ nm rm module-name

Try it out with npx:

$ npx nm rm module-name

Description

This is a command line tool for doing physical operations on your node_modules with some minimal level of package.json and package-lock.json awareness. In contrast to npm, it is focused on physical operations on disk.

Commands

rm

Remove from node-modules if it exists.

Planned options: -r remove and its transitive dependencies. -f -r remove and its transitive dependencies, even if they're also used by another module.

Planned Commands

These are not implemented yet.

ls

Would be what llmod outputs.

install/add

Add packages w/o installing anything else. Read registry auth from .npmrc (no nm login however, use npm for that).

--save

A suite of save option that can update package.json and package-lock.json
