Remove Old Modules -

rmom

ReMove Old Modules removes modules from old projects.

rmom assumes that you keep your JS projects in a folder, like this:

projects
- project1
| - node_modules
- project2
| - node_modules
...

If you run the following:

node rmom.js <path to projects folder>

rmom will remove all the node_modules folder inside projects that haven't been touched for a month.
