# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following: | |
# go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules | |
cd /usr/local/lib | |
sudo rm -rf node* | |
# go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory | |
cd /usr/local/include | |
sudo rm -rf node* | |
# if you installed with brew install node, then run brew uninstall node in your terminal | |
brew uninstall node | |
# check your Home directory for any "local" or "lib" or "include" folders, and delete any "node" or "node_modules" from there | |
# go to /usr/local/bin and delete any node executable | |
cd /usr/local/bin | |
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm | |
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/node | |
ls -las | |
# you may need to do the additional instructions as well: | |
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1 | |
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d | |
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm |
