How to Delete node_modules – Deep Nested Folder in Windows

by

Since this the top google result, this is what worked for me:

Update, if you have npm v5, use npx:

npx rimraf ./**/node_modules

Otherwise install RimRaf:

npm install rimraf -g

And in the project folder delete the node_modules folder with:

rimraf node_modules

If you want to recursively delete:

rimraf .\**\node_modules
