If you’ve ever had to create a new project with the node package manager you’ll have seen it install a load of “dependencies” installed onto your simple project.  After a while you’ll end up with multiple projects and multiple folders of “node_modules”. No problem you say, but it will be when you start running out of space!

You can always reinstall them back with a;

npm install

Deletion:
Deleting one of these folders can take a few minutes so imagine having more than one project and “node_modules” for each project.  This can take up to many gigs of space depending on the project.

Solution npkill
this great util will allow you to delete multiple node_modules folders across different projects;
