Manual removal of dependency from bower.json should delete package's folder

[scottaddie]

Manually removing a dependency from bower.json should delete the corresponding folder from the directory defined in .bowerrc (wwwroot/lib by default). The Manage Bower Packages dialog does do this. As a power user, I'd expect manually editing the bower.json file to have feature parity with the Manage Bower Packages dialog.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. File --> New --> Project... --> ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core)

2. Select the Web Application template for ASP.NET Core 1.1

3. Open bower.json, and add a reference to Font Awesome, and save to trigger the package installation. The bower.json file should now look as follows:

   {
   "name": "asp.net",
   "private": true,
   "dependencies": {
   "bootstrap": "3.3.7",
   "font-awesome": "4.7.0",
   "jquery": "2.2.0",
   "jquery-validation": "1.14.0",
   "jquery-validation-unobtrusive": "3.2.6"
   }
   }

   Notice that the wwwroot\lib\font-awesome folder now exists in Solution Explorer.

4. Manually remove the Font Awesome dependency from bower.json, and save. Your bower.json file now looks like this:

   {
   "name": "asp.net",
   "private": true,
   "dependencies": {
   "bootstrap": "3.3.7",
   "jquery": "2.2.0",
   "jquery-validation": "1.14.0",
   "jquery-validation-unobtrusive": "3.2.6"
   }
   }

   Notice that the wwwroot\lib\font-awesome folder still exists:
