If it is a library based only on javascript  than you can just run npm uninstall --save package name or npm uninstall --save-dev package name If you ve installed a library with native content that requires linking  and you ve linked it with npm then you can do  npm unlink package name then follow step 1 If you ve installed a library with native content manually  then just undo all the steps you took to add the library in the first place  Then follow step 1    note rnpm as is deprecated

I followed the following steps --   react-native unlink  lt lib name gt  -- this command has done the unlinking of the library from both platforms  react-native uninstall   lt lib name gt  -- this has uninstalled the library from the node modules and its dependencies Manually removed the library name from package json -- somehow the --save command was not working for me to remove the library declaration from package json    After this I have manually deleted the empty react-native library from the node modules folder
