How can I completely uninstall nodejs npm and node in Ubuntu

Question

I installed it using: sudo apt-get install node. My question is that how can I remove npm along with all libraries, packages, and any other files installed by npm.

Answer 1

First, use this code to remove them:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

sudo apt-get remove npm

Then go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and check if there is any node list, if there is any remove them. Then do a:

sudo apt-get update

Note: also, check for node & npm folders, if there are any just remove them. The best practice to install node would be using NVM manager.
