At least on the current maven version you need to add the switch -DreResolve=false if you intend to remove the dependencies from your local repo without re-downloading them.

mvn dependency:purge-local-repository -DreResolve=false

removes the dependencies without downloading them again.

While there is a maven command you can execute to do this  it s easier to just delete the files manually from the repository  Like this on windows Documents and Settings your username  m2 or  HOME  m2 on Linux

Although deleting files manually works  there is an official way of removing dependencies of your project from your local  cache  repository and optionally re-resolving them from remote repositories   The goal purge-local-repository  on the standard Maven dependency plugin  will remove the locally installed dependencies of this project from your cache   Optionally  you may re-resolve them from the remote repositories at the same time   This should be used as part of a project phase because it applies to the dependencies for the containing project  Also transitive dependencies will be purged  locally  as well  by default   If you want to explicitly remove a single artifact from the cache  use purge-local-repository with the manualInclude parameter   For example  from the command line   mvn dependency purge-local-repository -DmanualInclude  groupId artifactId         The documentation implies that this does not remove transitive dependencies by default  If you are running with a non-standard cache location  or on multiple platforms  these are more reliable than deleting files  by hand    The full documentation is in the maven-dependency-plugin spec   Note  Older versions of the maven dependency plugin had a manual-purge-local-repository goal  which is now  version 2 8  implied by the use of manualInclude  The documentation for manualIncludes  with an s  should be read as well
