cannot remove Cordova plugin

Question

I'm using the following command to remove an unused Cordova plugin:

$ cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-facebook
  Uninstalling cordova-plugin-facebook from android
  Uninstalling cordova-plugin-facebook from its

Its giving me the following error:

  Error: Uh oh!
  Path must be a string. Received undefined

How do I resolve the problem or remove the plugin by hand?

Answer 1

I'm guessing that on the line:

Uninstalling cordova-plugin-facebook from its

That last word should be ios? If so, the ios platform might need to be removed and re-added:

1. Call cordova platform rm ios.
2. Check your config.xml file for a <plugin name="cordova-plugin-facebook"> ... line. Remove it if it's still there.
3. Call cordova platform add ios.

Hopefully that cleans things out properly.

Answer 2

I agree to most of @eb1 answer expect for using cordova for install/remove it will not work for my case instead use

ionic plugin rm
