How to Uninstall Node on MacOS

For some reason if you want to remove nodejs from your system and you cannot pinpoint on how you installed it in the first place, like me right now. Here is a helpful script you can use to uninstall it.

Run it as admin

uninstall-node.sh

#!/bin/bash

removeNode() {
  rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
  rm -rf /usr/local/bin/node
  rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm
  rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npx
  rm -rf /usr/local/include/node
  rm -rf $HOME/.npm
  rm -rf /usr/local/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp
  rm -rf /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d
  rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1
  
}
