Normally composer remove used like this is enough     composer remove vendor package   but if composer package is removed and config cache is not cleaned you cannot clean it  when you try like so  php artisan config clear   you can get an error In ProviderRepository php line 208      Class  Laracasts Flash FlashServiceProvider  not found   this is a dead end  unless you go deleting files   rm bootstrap cache config php   And this is Laravel 5 6 I m talking about  not some kind of very old stuff   It happens usually on automated deployment  when you copy files of a new release on top of old cache  Even if you cleared cache before copying  You end up with old cache and a new composer json

There are quite a few steps here   Go to composer json and look for the package and how it is written over there    for example      quot require quot      quot twig twig quot    quot  3 0 quot       I wish to remove twig 3 0  Now open cmd and run  composer remove vendor your package name as composer remove twig twig this will remove the package   As a final step run composer update this will surely give you a massage of nothing to install or update but this is important in case your packages have inter-dependencies
