How do I uninstall *all* nuget packages from a solution in Visual Studio

I know I can uninstall-package from the PM console. I got into some dependency issues with another project and I want to start over, and I need to delete all packages in one shot. Is there a way?

Solution 1:

To get all packages from all projects in the solution use Get-Package. To get all packages from a specific project use Get-Package -ProjectName "YourProjectName".

Remove all packages from all projects in the solution

Be careful: This will uninstall ALL packages in the solution. If -Force parameter is used, packages are removed even if dependencies exist.

Get-Package | Uninstall-Package -RemoveDependencies -Force

Remove all packages from a specific project within a solution

Be careful: This will uninstall ALL packages in the project. If -Force parameter is used, packages are removed even if dependencies exist.

Get-Package -ProjectName "YourProjectName" | 
Uninstall-Package -ProjectName "YourProjectName" -RemoveDependencies -Force

Solution 2:

In Package Manager Console just type:

get-package | uninstall-package -removedependencies

Solution 3:

try this:

get-package | uninstall-package -removedependencies -force
