Uninstalling next-auth Issues

TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc

I did npm uninstall next-auth --save, but I still see next-auth in my package.json. What is going on? It sounds like you might be facing a common issue with npm's behavior regarding package uninstallation. Here are a few things to check and steps to resolve the issue:

1. Check the Terminal Output: When you ran npm uninstall next-auth --save, there should have been terminal output indicating whether the uninstallation was successful. If there were any errors, they might suggest what went wrong.

2. Check for Local Changes: If next-auth still appears in your package.json, it might be that the package was not properly removed. This could be due to local changes not being saved or the command not executing correctly.

3. Manual Editing: Since npm uninstall should automatically update your package.json, if it didn't, you can manually remove the entry for next-auth from the dependencies in your package.json file. After editing, run npm install to update your node_modules and package-lock.json to reflect the manual removal.

4. Clean the Cache and Reinstall Node Modules:

   • You can clean the npm cache using npm cache clean --force.
   • Then, delete the node_modules directory and the package-lock.json file.
   • Run npm install to reinstall the node modules based on the updated package.json.

5. Check Global Installation: Ensure that next-auth was not installed globally which might not affect your project's package.json. You can check global packages with npm list -g --depth=0.

6. Version Control: If you are using a version control system like git, check if the package.json was updated in the repository after running the uninstall command. Sometimes, the changes might not have been committed or saved properly.

7. npm Version: Ensure your npm is up to date as older versions might have bugs with package management. You can update npm using npm install -g npm.

These steps should help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue of next-auth still appearing in your package.json after uninstallation.
