How to safely remove resolve-url?

Question

I have an npm package resolve-url in my React Native project. The package is deprecated, and I'm not using it, so I want to remove it. However, after I run npm uninstall resolve-url to uninstall per npm's documentation, my project no longer runs with npm start!

How do I safely remove resolve-url?

How do I safely remove resolve-url?

It turns out that my project depended on resolve-url through another package, source-map-resolve.

Solution:

1. npm uninstall source-map-resolve
2. npm uninstall resolve-url
3. I deleted the newly created package-lock.json because my project used yarn.lock.
4. I cleaned up remaining references to source-map-resolve and resolve-url in my yarn.lock.
