In order to clean node_modules you need to execute 2 steps:
1) rm -rf node_modules/
2) npm i

Step 1) removes node_modules folder with all its content from the app
Step 2) re-installs all packages specified in package.json file

Now your app will have a clean node_modules folder with just the needed packages installed.
