Can’t uninstall global npm packages after installing nvm

by

(nvm maintainer here)

The list of things that you can npm uninstall -g is available at npm ls -g --depth=0. If you don’t see the thing you want to uninstall there, but you can still access it, then if it was npm-installed, it was probably installed with your system version of node.

You can quickly verify this with nvm use system && npm ls -g --depth=0. If you see the package there, then while using the system version, you can npm uninstall -g it.
