'How to delete Node_modules folder in command line on 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?

windows command-line

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
