Angular App not building after npm remove material-design-icons

Question

We have an Angular App with some outdated dependencies that I'm trying to update. I want to include the Material Icon font using a directly to fonts.googleapis.com, but the app doesn't build after uninstalling the package "material-design-icons". When running ng serve I get this error:

An unhandled exception occurred: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Projekte\JI.Infopool\JI.Infopool.WebApp\ClientApp\node_modules\material-design-icons'
See "C:\Users\mstein\AppData\Local\Temp\ng-gf4InK\angular-errors.log" for further details.

The log file says:

[error] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Projekte\JI.Infopool\JI.Infopool.WebApp\ClientApp\node_modules\material-design-icons'

I don't know what the problem is, there aren't any references to that package left in my project. Any suggestions?

Please delete node_modules from your project and install dependencies again. It should fix the problem.
