How do you completely remove Ionic and Cordova installation from mac?

Question

How can I remove Cordova and ionic installation from my Mac completely? I am running mac os Yosemite 10.10.2

Answer 1

BlueBell's answer is right, you can do it by:

npm uninstall cordova ionic

Are you planning to re-install it? If you feel something's wrong which is causing problems then you should update npm and clean npm's cache.

npm cache clean -f
npm install npm -g

If problems still persist, I'd suggest re-install of NPM and Node.

npm uninstall node
apt-get purge npm
apt-get install npm
npm install node -g

Let me know if you face issues in the process.
