Removing a dependency does not delete it from the global cache. To reclaim disk
space, see [`deno clean`](/runtime/reference/cli/clean/).

## Removing a global executable

Pass `--global` (or `-g`) to remove a globally installed executable script, the
same as [`deno uninstall --global`](/runtime/reference/cli/uninstall/):

```sh
deno remove --global serve
```

A global removal targets a single executable, so you cannot combine `--global`
with multiple names. Use `--root` to target a custom installation root.
