<p>So sad to see you go.</p>

<pre><code>sudo npm uninstall npm -g</code></pre>
16

    
17
<p>Or, if that fails, get the npm source code, and do:</p>
18

    
19
<pre><code>sudo make uninstall</code></pre>

23
<p>Usually, the above instructions are sufficient.  That will remove
24
npm, but leave behind anything you&#39;ve installed.</p>
25

    
26
<p>If that doesn&#39;t work, or if you require more drastic measures,
27
continue reading.</p>
28

    
29
<p>Note that this is only necessary for globally-installed packages.  Local
30
installs are completely contained within a project&#39;s <code>node_modules</code>
31
folder.  Delete that folder, and everything is gone (unless a package&#39;s
32
install script is particularly ill-behaved).</p>
33

    
34
<p>This assumes that you installed node and npm in the default place.  If
35
you configured node with a different <code>--prefix</code>, or installed npm with a
36
different prefix setting, then adjust the paths accordingly, replacing
37
<code>/usr/local</code> with your install prefix.</p>
38

    
39
<p>To remove everything npm-related manually:</p>
40

    
41
<pre><code>rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/npm*</code></pre>
42

    
43
<p>If you installed things <em>with</em> npm, then your best bet is to uninstall
44
them with npm first, and then install them again once you have a
45
proper install.  This can help find any symlinks that are lying
46
around:</p>
47

    
48
<pre><code>ls -laF /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm},bin,share/man} | grep npm</code></pre>
49

    
50
<p>Prior to version 0.3, npm used shim files for executables and node
51
modules.  To track those down, you can do the following:</p>
52

    
53
<pre><code>find /usr/local/{lib/node,bin} -exec grep -l npm \{\} \; ;</code></pre>
