How to delete Node_modules folder in command line on Windows? - windows

So, I should delete all node_modules in my project(I want that the node_modules folder become completely empty). Just removing folder manually does not suit me.
I read that I can delete it with rm -rf node_modules/ BUT it does not work on WINDOWS.
How to delete it?

Deleting node_modules is as simple as writing the node_modules without a slash:
rm -rf node_modules
rm -rf node_modules shouldn't have a slash at the end /, and this worked for me even on Widows.

Installing globally rimraf will do the job.
npm install -g rimraf
From the docs:
If installed with npm install rimraf -g it can be used as a global
command rimraf [ ...] which is useful for cross platform
support.
So with installing this package, you can remove directories on all platforms(windows, linux).
All left to do is rimraf node_modules

What is causing the "invalid ELF header"?

I am testing a JavaScript app that is hung up on an 'invalid ELF header'.
A wide open search finds multiple solutions.
Suggested solutions (in no particular order:)
add .dockerignore
add node_modules
install npm
rm -rf node_modules
add bcrypt("*") to package.json
npm install --global
npm
install -g node#6.17.1
use nvm to install node.js and npm
npm rebuild bcryptjs / bcrypt.js
npm rebuild bcrypt --build-from-source
rm -rf node_modules
Trying them at random has not helped. I am using a Jelastic platform to run a server.js app that was built in Eclipse on Windows 10. The app worked in localhost. So, I expected it to run in a Jelastic environment. But, I have exhausted vendor support for ERR_DLopen_FAILED.

NPM error while trying to make a auth system using Laravel Breeze

When I run npm install, I'm getting the following error:
How can I solve this?
Update your node.js to the latest
make sure that the node version is up to date by running:
$ node -v
in your CMD and by visiting
https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/
To know what is the latest version.
run this command in your CMD:
$ npm cache clean --force
then Delete node_modules by running:
$ rmdir /S /Q node_modules
or delete it manually by going into the directory and right-click > delete / move to trash. If you are not updating your packages you can delete the package-lock.json file too.
now you can run:
$ npm install
This works for me, all the best.

How to uninstall Yarn from a project

I'm a bit confused.
I accidentally installed yarn in a project. I just ran the command yarn that installed the yarn in the project. How do I uninstall yarn from the project?
Do I type in npm uninstall yarn? to uninstall it from a project?
I looked at other solutions and I'm confused.
Run npm uninstall yarn make sure it no longer is listed in your package.json
Delete the yarn.lock file if there is one
If in linux (similar for others I guess):
cd project_directory
Run "npm uninstall yarn"
rm -rf .yarn
rm .yarnrc.yml
rm yarn.lock
in package.json: delete "yarn" lines
in .gitignore (if present): delete "yarn" lines
in README.md (if present): change "yarn" to "npm"
run "grep -irl yarn ." to find any other references

Laravel elixir npm error Cannot find module 'laravel-elixir/ingredients/commands/Utilities'

I've came across this problem when I wanted to install a project from a couple of months ago onto my home-computer, i've installed my packages correctly, but when i try to run gulp, i constantly get this error:
Error: Cannot find module 'laravel-elixir/ingredients/commands/Utilities'
I've been debugging for about 5 hours now and i'm close to desperation :p , the solutions they offer online don't even seem appliable, they tell me to change a directory in the index.js of the laravel-elixir module, but the rules that need changing don't even exist in that file :p ,
Any help would mean the world to me!
As #Hkan proposed in the comments section:
Running the following commands will remove and reinstall all modules:
$ rm -rf node_modules/
$ npm install
$ gulp
Or as a one-liner:
$ rm -rf node_modules/ && npm install && gulp
