Delete all node_modules folders recursively from current folder (or any other folder if you change the folder name)

delete_node_modules_folders_recursively.ps1

# Recursively search for directories named "node_modules"
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Directory -Filter "node_modules" | ForEach-Object {
    # Check if the directory name is exactly "node_modules"
    if ($_.Name -eq "node_modules" -and $_.FullName -notmatch "node_modules.*\\node_modules") {
        # Output the path of the directory being deleted
        Write-Output "Deleting: $($_.FullName)"
        # Use the 'rd' command via cmd.exe to delete the directory quietly and efficiently
        # /s: Removes all files and subdirectories
        # /q: Suppresses confirmation prompts
        cmd.exe /c "rd /s /q `"$($_.FullName)`""
    }
}

# Using rd is faster than other solutions because it handles bulk copies better.
