pnpm clean

Aliases: purge

Safely remove node_modules contents from all workspace projects. Uses Node.js to remove directories, which correctly handles NTFS junctions on Windows without following them into their targets.

In a workspace, node_modules directories are cleaned in the root and every workspace package. Non-pnpm hidden entries (e.g., .cache) inside node_modules are preserved.

If a custom virtualStoreDir is configured and it resides inside the project root (but outside node_modules), it is also removed.

Options#

--lockfile, -l#

Also remove pnpm-lock.yaml files.
