Uninstall but still present ?

[maiis]

@JamieMason LOL you are right but that wasn't my problem.
I've undo everything, except if there is some special things to do to uninstall ?
I deleted node_shrinkwrap folder and npm-shrinkwrap.json, then re-run "npm shrinkwrap" so a new .json is created with resolved containing "file:node_shrinkwrap/xxx"... hence my confusion

Thanks for raising this @maiis.

I think there is a difference between removing the files that make up the tool itself and removing/undoing the things you did while using the tool. For example, if I were to use ImageOptim to optimise a folder of images and then uninstalled ImageOptim – I wouldn't expect all those images to be deoptimised afterwards.

There are other examples of this (SASS, fixmyjs, Babel, anything really).

When you uninstall a tool you're just removing the tool, not undoing everything you used it for.

Does that makes sense? Have I understood your question correctly?

[JamieMason]

haha, I did wonder for a minute there. Ok, I think I understand now – does this work?

npm uninstall -g shrinkpack
rm -rf ./node_shrinkwrap npm-shrinkwrap.json
npm cache clean
npm shrinkwrap

[maiis]

It does...
npm cache clear, forget to do that.
I knew it was something obvious, thanks for your help 👍

You're welcome, I think this is actually another example of the problem being looked at in #31.
