How can I remove a globally linked package that was added via npm link?

When you connect a Node.js package using a command such as sudo npm associate in the module’s folder, a symbolic reference is created in the global library directory. This method is useful during development for testing without multiple installations. What npm command should you execute to undo this linking? For example, you might try:

sudo npm disconnect-lib

Which command properly removes the link?

I had a similar problem a while back when cleaning up some older development projects. Based on my experience, the proper way to remove a globally linked package is to execute the command ‘npm unlink ’ from the project folder that used it. Additionally, if the package was linked globally, running ‘npm unlink -g ’ in the package’s source directory helped thoroughly remove the symbolic link. This approach worked reliably without introducing unexpected issues in the project dependencies.
