Hi, I need to uninstall node js as it was installed incorrectly. Does anyone have a simple way of doing this in Ubuntu based Linux (Linux lite). I tried manually deleting the node modules but I have to go through each module individually to do this as they are write protected. Now I have a partially uninstalled version of node js ️
you can try this

Hi,
If you installed Node via apt, sudo apt remove nodejs
should do. If you also want to remove configuration files: sudo apt purge nodejs
. And if you want to also remove unused packages installed by Node: sudo apt autoremove
.
If this doesn’t work, I’m afraid it’s going to take a deep Google search. You can also try, if the previous solution doesn’t work for you, to find its installation path (whereis node
) and, from there, remove the whole directory with rm - rf
.
