$ cat deno.json

}

While dependencies are removed from the deno.json and package.json they
still persist in the global cache for future use.
If your project contains package.json, deno uninstall can work with it too:
$ cat package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"express": "^5.0.0"
}
}
$ deno remove express
Removed express
$ cat package.json
{
"dependencies": {}
}
