 Description   

Description

It's not possible to remove dependencies as this feature is not available currently. However the article should mention that if you want to update the list of dependencies, you can upload another tar file with only the packages you want and it will clear the ones which are not in the new upload.

this is covered in the  "Overriding Existing Dependencies" notes at the top of the "Specify npm Packages" and "Upload Zipped node_modules" sections on the new version of the function dependency page - https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/functions/add-external-dependencies/

will address this once the changes for https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCSP-19701 have wrapped up. this should just be a new note on the new add external dependencies page.
