How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)?
uninstall Node.js There is a /Users/myusername/local folder that contained a include with node and lib with node and node_modules. Deleting these local references.
Run this command in your Terminal.
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/{npm*,node*,man1/node*} Or use this command.
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/local/share/man/man1/node* /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d ~/.npm ~/.node-gyp or do those steps instead.
To completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:
go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory if you installed it with brew install node, then run brew uninstall node in your terminal check your Home directory for any local or lib or include folders, and delete any node or node_modules from there such as ~/.
