Remove Node and NPM on OS X.md

sudo npm uninstall npm -g
brew uninstall node

Then

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d /usr/local/lib/node_modules /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/nodemon /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/include/node ~/.npm* ~/.node* /usr/local/share/man/*/node* /usr/local/share/man/*/npm*

Which removes the following

• /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d
• /usr/local/lib/node_modules
• /usr/local/bin/npm
• /usr/local/bin/nodemon
• /usr/local/bin/node
• /usr/local/include/node
• ~/.npm*
• ~/.node*
• /usr/local/share/man/*/node*
• /usr/local/share/man/*/npm*

Hi everyone here, I´ve had this same problem, searched a lot in Stack Overflow and Node.JS docs to fix this without make it, but today (while researched a bit more) founded this, is a "non code" solution but worked amazingly well and was much safer than running commands with exotic flags:

Deleting Node.JS from Mac computer

Hope this works to you too, that guy saved my day for sure!
(I´m on High Sierra)

Glad to read that brother, I´m planning to realease a front/back end public wiki with troubleshooting, if you are interested I´ll be posting the link in my GitHub profile 😉

Thanks for this script! It worked for me to uninstall node 14.17.1 from my mac! I only needed to exclude /usr/local/bin/nodemon from the list since this directory doesn't exist.
