Ng serve not working after uninstalling a package

Question

Can you guys help me on how I can run ng serve again successfully.

I worked on an Angular project that used Bootstrap, and then I installed Angular Material, my design was ruined. So, I tried to uninstall Angular Material using npm uninstall @angular/material and it turned out that it got uninstalled successfully. I closed my running server localhost:4200 and then tried to run the project again using ng serve but it gave me this error An unhandled exception occurred: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'D:\desktop\github_repos\library-management-system\node_modules\@angular\material' See "C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Temp\ng-XYBGzp\angular-errors.log" for further details.

Follow up question: Does Bootstrap and Angular Material cannot work together?

Thank you!

And this is the contents inside the angular-errors.log file:

Make sure you are not using any Angular Material in your code. And check the package.json if @angular/material is deleted from the dependecies list, then run ‘ npm install ‘
