### Synopsis

```bash
npm unstar [<package-spec>...]
```

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

### Description

"Unstarring" a package is the opposite of [`npm star`](/commands/npm-star), it removes an item from your list of favorite packages.

### More

There's also these extra commands to help you manage your favorite packages:

#### Star

You can "star" a package using [`npm star`](/commands/npm-star)

#### Listing stars

You can see all your starred packages using [`npm stars`](/commands/npm-stars)

### Configuration

#### `registry`

* Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
* Type: URL

The base URL of the npm registry.



#### `unicode`

* Default: false on windows, true on mac/unix systems with a unicode
  locale, as defined by the `LC_ALL`, `LC_CTYPE`, or `LANG` environment
  variables.
* Type: Boolean

When set to true, npm uses unicode characters in the tree output.
When false, it uses ascii characters instead of unicode glyphs.



#### `otp`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String

This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's
needed when publishing or changing package permissions with `npm
access`.

If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a
one-time password, npm will prompt on the command line for one.
