Do you have 1000000000 node_modules folders and no space on your machine? This command will help. Just NPM install in the folders you actually use:

rm -r **/node_modules

Heres a cool life hack

sudo apt purge npm

or sudo apt-get remove --purge npm

if you are reading this rant and you are not familar with the command line. I HIGHLY suggest you do NOT try this!!!

What about using yarn?

I tried these commands but it didn't free up space just gave some strange messages:

'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

'sudo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

@spacem sacrasm or did you try that on windows?
