'What is the difference between deleting package-lock.json + npm install and npm install?
I'm upgrading dependencies and was wondering why these two workflows don't lead to the same result.
Option 1 - Delete package-lock.json and npm install.
- Completely upgrades/changes majority of the package-lock.json in addition to the dependencies I upgraded in the package.json

Option 2 - Not deleting package-lock.json and npm install
Upgrades the dependencies in package-lock.json that I changed in the package.json.

I've searched stackoverflow and no one seems to be asking this. Can someone please explain the difference between the two and possibly recommend the ideal workflow for upgrading a few dependencies?
