title: Safe to remove all OWIN packages from MVC5 project with Simple Membership?
body: <p>I'd like to clean up the project I'm working on. We are using Simple Membership and have no intention of supporting authentication using Twitter, Google, etc. I don't know that much about OWIN but I see quite a few NuGet packages installed by default.</p>
  
  <p>Is it safe to uninstall all of the OWIN packages?</p>
