How to completely remove a local package?

Thank you all. I marked kevbonham’s answer as solution but obviously all of you are of great help

Thanks for your response. Somehow even though I dev ed my package, my ~/.julia/ folder does not contain a dev folder, which may be strange.

If you first created the package in, say, ~/Desktop/MyPackage, and then did ]dev ~/Desktop/MyPackage, julia will just point directly to that repo. I’m not sure if Pkg is smart enough to remember all the paths to deved packages in all of your manifests, but it would not surprise me if it was.

I tend to think of packages that are deved and those that are added in completely different buckets. The former are just git repos that julia knows about, and never messes with. The later I treat as black boxes that I only modify with Pkg.
