How to uninstall Yarn

Question

I had installed Yarn for some demo. Now I am trying to run a react project using npm but by default, it always changes to Yarn. I don't need Yarn now, so I want to uninstall it. I tried the following command but it did not work

sudo apt-get remove yarn && sudo apt-get purge yarn

How can I do it? 

Answer 1

This is maybe because you didn't use apt-get to install Yarn. You have to uninstall it using the same package manager that you used to install. 

For example, if your used brew:

brew uninstall yarn

If you have used npm:

npm uninstall -g yarn
