How to uninstall global package with npm?

Question

I have installed webpack in this way:

npm install -g webpack 

Now want to uninstall it:

npm uninstall -g webpack 

Check it again, it didn't been uninstalled:

webpack -v 3.1.0 

Why?

---

And, I use this way can't find webpack:

npm list -g | grep webpack 

---

This also didn't work:

npm uninstall -g webpack --save 

---

After run this under a directory which included package.json:

npm uninstall webpack npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of webpack@1 || 2 || ^2.1.0-beta || ^2.2.0-rc but none was installed. npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of uglify-js@^2.8.0 but none was installed. npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of webpack@^1.9 || ^2 || ^2.1.0-beta || ^2.2.0-rc but none was installed. 

Answer 1

Try running both of the below commands:

npm uninstall -g webpack npm uninstall webpack 

I think you might be checking/looking at the local version after deleting only the global one.
