How to delete a directory even if it's not empty?

No comments   
You might have seen, while using the "rmdir" command that you cannot delete this directory as it is not empty.

Use the following command :

> rm -r directoryName

or

> rm -rf directory_Name

so, "f" represents force. So, it will skip all the necessary checks and simply wipe out the whole directory.

Use SUDO, if you still cannot delete.

How to remove npm ?

No comments   

  • Ok, so npm stands for Node Package Manager, and trust me, it's really an awesome thing. 
  • It is a package manager for various things, like angular, node (default), gulp, grunt, mobile, javascript and many more.
  • But, it is also important to know, how to uninstall npm from the system to get a fresh npm later.
  • So, here it goes
$ sudo npm uninstall npm -g
$ npm -v
  • To remove everything related to npm,
$ rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/npm*


Simple..!!!
