Color-picker.min.js Uncaught ReferenceError

Hello,

lately I’ve been seeing the following error in pages where the acf_form_head loads.

Uncaught ReferenceError: wp is not defined
    <anonymous> http://localhost/mn/wp-admin/js/color-picker.min.js?ver=5.5:2
    <anonymous> http://localhost/mn/wp-admin/js/color-picker.min.js?ver=5.5:2

Despite the question about how to solve the error, it makes me wonder how many unnecessary things are loaded. Can you completely remove the color-picker as an ACF library component?

Also, (hijacking my own thread :D) same question for other ‘heavy’ elements like repeater sortables.

Answering my own question… found a snippet online that resolves the issue – credit to whoever provided it!

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'pp_deregister_javascript', 99 );

function pp_deregister_javascript() {
	if(!is_admin())
	{
		 wp_dequeue_script('wp-color-picker');
		 wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-ui-datepicker' );
		 wp_deregister_script( 'wp-color-picker-js-extra' );
		 wp_deregister_script( 'wp-color-picker' );

	}

}
