How to remove Homebridge on Raspberry Pi

Question

How can I remove Homebridge from a Raspberry Pi 3. I have attempted the following without any luck.

pi@Development:~ $ sudo npm uninstall homebridge
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'
npm WARN pi No description
npm WARN pi No repository field.
npm WARN pi No README data
npm WARN pi No license field.

I have also attempted to remove it not as sudo. A much longer result but still no luck.

pi@Development:~ $ npm uninstall homebridge
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'
npm WARN pi No description
npm WARN pi No repository field.
npm WARN pi No README data
npm WARN pi No license field.

You can do it globally as root:

sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge

Homebridge's configuration files are stored in ~/.homebridge (if you're using default user "pi", the directory is /home/pi/.homebridge)
