How to remove indirect (or vise versa) module from go.mod?

Getting Help

I did a silly thing in that not realizing that I already had github.com/golang/protobuf v1.5.0 I did a go get to get google.golang.org/protobuf and I don’t know how to remove the new one which is essentially the same thing but redirected.

Remove imports from your go files and run

 go mod tidy

This will clear the unused dependencies from go.mod file

I should have mentioned that I did that and it didn’t work. I also did a search through the code for google.golang.org/protobuf and I don’t see it anywhere except in go.mod and go.sum.

I am currently on go 1.15.
