When creating an react native app with expo, expo installs many module that i don't need. Is there a way to remove these unwanted modules like barcode reader google sign in and google maps. thanks

To remove a package from your node_modules directory, on the command line, use the uninstall command. Include the scope of the package is scoped.
Unscoped package
npm uninstall --save <package_name>
Scoped package
npm uninstall --save <@scope/package_name>
if need to know more about it then follow official Document here https://docs.npmjs.com/uninstalling-packages-and-dependencies#removing-a-local-package-from-the-packagejson-dependencies

4It is really strange but command "npm uninstall package-name" doesn't delete packege from folder and doesn't delete it from package.json.– KateCommented Jun 12, 2021 at 16:52
npm uninstall <package name> works. It removes the expo module from your node_modules
