Bug Report

Problem

I am unable to remove a custom plugin using cordova plugin remove plugin-name for not officially supported platform.

What is expected to happen?

The plugin should be removed from the project.

What does actually happen?

CLI throws an error: Platform "platform-name" not supported..

Information

Looking at source code, the plugin remove command calls function uninstallPlatform in cordova-lib/src/plugman/uninstall.js. The error I get comes from https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/1d98b57a1bc51d74217198681c506a608c8396db/src/plugman/uninstall.js#L70-L72

platform_modules are defined inside https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/master/src/platforms/platformsConfig.json. It makes sense it's not modified when I add the custom platform to the project. This part of the code probably should not depend on the static configuration.

Command or Code

cordova plugin remove plugin-name --verbose
Calling plugman.uninstall on plugin "plugin-name" for platform "platform-name"
Platform "platform-name" not supported.
CordovaError: Platform "platform-name" not supported.
