Remove all node_module folders recursively

find . -name "node_modules" -exec rm -rf '{}' +

That will delete the folder and files even if there is a space in the name.

That saved me about 10GB over several hundred node projects which I had not touched in a while. If I need the node modules back, I can simply run npm install
