How do I remove Bower from a ASP.NET Core Web application?

Question

Problem

I created an ASP.NET Core Web App on Ubuntu and it runs fine.

However, it seems to have included bower by default. I want my web project to handle serving the site, but to have any of the Javascript/SASS/CSS etc generation to be handled in isolation by Webpack in conjunction with a few other things.

Question

How do I cleanly remove bower from my project?

Answer 1

1. Delete bower_modules (or wwwroot\lib) folder, depending on which version of tooling you are using
2. Delete bower.json
