To remove incorrect dependencies, you can use one of the following methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Manually remove incorrect dependencies in the project’s pom.xml file. Locate the tags in the pom.xml file and then delete the tags that contain the incorrect dependencies.<\/li>\n
  2. Remove incorrect dependencies using Maven commands. Execute the following command in the command line:<\/li>\n
  3. Delete all dependencies from the local repository.<\/li>\n
  4. This will clear all copies of dependencies in the local repository, including incorrect dependencies.<\/li>\n
  5. If you are using an integrated development environment like Eclipse or IntelliJ, you can use the IDE’s Maven plugin to remove incorrect dependencies. In the Maven project view of the IDE, locate the incorrect dependencies, then right-click and choose delete or exclude.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No matter which method you choose, it is recommended to run the following command to update the project’s dependencies after removing the incorrect ones.<\/p>\n

    mvn clean install\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
