When you build a Laravel project, there might be times when you installed a package that you actually don’t need. So, you want to uninstall it. But, how?
Run ‘composer remove package/vendor’ command in your terminal with your package and vendor name. If you’ve published your vendor, you’ll have to delete the published files manually.
For example, I want to uninstall stevebauman/location package, so I run this command and it is uninstalled.
composer remove stevebauman/locationIf you’ve successfully uninstalled it, your terminal should look something like this depending on your package.
And since I published that vendor already and it copied location.php to my config folder, I deleted that file too.
Summary
That’s it! You’ve successfully installed a Laravel package.
