Removing cordova plugins from the project

Question

Somehow in my app many of the cordova plugins are installed and because of that it requires access to almost everything - from my contacts to current location   even though this app doesn t need this      This app is build via jenkins and as far as I understand one solution is to remove every plugin with single command  so it will be like   cordova plugin rm org apache cordova battery-status cordova plugin rm org apache cordova camera cordova plugin rm org apache cordova contacts cordova plugin rm org apache cordova geolocation cordova plugin rm org apache cordova media cordova plugin rm org apache cordova media-capture cordova plugin rm org apache cordova splashscreen cordova plugin rm org apache cordova vibration   But sometimes it shows some errors and with jenkins any error ends up with build failure  so is there any command which deletes all plugins    during installation basics plugins which requires any app to work are added automatically via cordova  so I was looking for some cordova plugin rm -all but couldn t find it

When running the command  cordova plugin remove  lt PLUGIN NAME gt   ensure that you do not add the version number to the plugin name  Just plain plugin name  for example    cordova plugin remove cordova plugin name    and not    cordova plugin remove cordova plugin name 0 01    or   cordova plugin remove  cordova plugin name 0 01    In case there is a privilege issue  run with sudo if you are on a  nix system  for example    sudo cordova plugin remove cordova plugin name   Then you may add --save to remove it from the config xml file  For example    cordova plugin remove cordova plugin name --save

As far as I remember from Cordova  you should have an xml file in  res  folder containing the list of plugins used in your project  You probably need to remove those unused plugins from list  And also you should remove related files

v2 0 0 of cordova-check-plugins enables you to remove all plugins in a project     npm install -g cordova-check-plugins   cordova-check-plugins --remove-all   It will attempt to use the Cordova CLI to remove each plugin  but if this fails it will force removal of the plugin from platforms  and plugins    If you also want to remove from config xml  use     cordova-check-plugins --remove-all --save   Disclaimer  I am the author of cordova-check-plugins
