Angular 6 has new CLI command ng add  lt package gt    How can I remove the package using Angular CLI   UPDATE  documentation     ng add will use your package manager to download new dependencies and invoke an installation script  implemented as a schematic  which can update your project with configuration changes  add additional dependencies  e g  polyfills   or scaffold package-specific initialization code   It is not the same npm install  lt package gt   I was trying to use ng rm but it is not working yet

As simple as this command says npm uninstall your-package-name This command will simply remove package without pain from node modules folder as well as from package json

Sometimes a dependency added with ng add will add more than one package  typing npm uninstall lib1 lib2 could be error prone and slow  so just remove the not needed libraries from package json and run npm i

You can use npm uninstall  lt package-name gt  will remove it from your package json file and from node modules   If you do ng help command  you will see that there is no ng remove delete supported command  So  basically you cannot revert the ng add behavior yet

I think best approach until Angular team add this feature to cli is first create angular  ng new something  in other place and then add what you want to delete  Using git to check witch files are changed or added by angular cli  then you can revert that changes  Be careful of untracked files from  gitignore

I don t know about CLI  I had tried  but I couldn t  I deleted using IDE Idea history  If You use an Intellij Idea  just open History changes  Tap by main folder of the project - gt  right click - gt  local history - gt  show history  Then from top to bottom revert changes   It should help  Good luck
