[SOLVED] deno.lock keeps getting populated with dependencies I don't need
I have tried to use a syntax highlighter before and have since removed it from my project, but every time I save any file, the deno.lock gets populated with these dependencies again, despite the fact that they are not used anywhere in my project. How can I make this stop?

feel free to ping if you reply, i don't check discord often
these dependencies are dependencies of dependencies you are using
not a bug, but a feature
they aren't, i don't have dependencies (at some point this was imported, but I have since removed it so back to having no deps)
i'm raw dogging this
i do assume it's a feature to manage it being built just fine, i just need to know what is making the import map think that this is actually needed when it's not, so i can make this stop
got it, at the very bottom of the list something sneaked in, that thing was requesting the others as dependencies. removed it and it's no longer populating those dependencies
👍
thanks for pointing me in the right direction
