I cannot, as the title suggests, upgrade or in any way remove the current version of firebase off my system and I don't understand why. I installed it using the firebase commands prompted when you first start a project, something in line with npm install -g firebase-tools
. After I've installed other packages to go along with it and I've upgraded the packages accordingly.
Now I want to remove the package I just do not understand how to do it. I've run
npm uninstall -g firebase-tools
npm uninstall -g firebase-admin
npm uninstall -g firebase-functions
npm uninstall -g firebase*
...and many other variations. After a while of trying I just figured I'll check what packages may still be left.
npm ls | grep firebase
Shows no firebase packages are still installed, however, running any firebase command will still work perfectly. Running firebase --version
I get 3.15.4
. I've also, just as a Hail Mary, tried running apt remove --purge firebase*
Further digging I figured that maybe the npm ls
command was off, so I tried reinstalling all firebase packages. I ran it again and there they were, however* firebase was now at version 4.12.1
. Running firebase --version
still produce 3.15.4
.
I'm really lost at this point. All help articles relating to uninstalling firebase leads to either how to delete projects or databases or to npm's how to uninstall a package website.
Sincerely.
