How to delete node_modules and reinstall

When we are developing a project, there will be a problem that the version of the node package installed each time is inconsistent with the version required by the project. Therefore, you need to delete the node package and reinstall it. Many friends just delete it manually, but do not delete the package cache, so an error will still be reported when starting the project~

The next article will simply and directly tell you the detailed operation steps.

For Windows

Step 1: Install node_modules in the directory where the project needs to be installed

Step 2: Install the rimraf tool first

npm install -g rimraf

Step 3: Delete the node_modules package and package-lock.json file

rimraf node_modules
rimraf package-lock.json

Note: Both node_modules and package-lock.json need to be deleted. Deleting only node_modules will not work.

Step 4: Clear the cache

npm cache clear --force

Step 5: Reinstall dependency packages

The package-lock.json file will be automatically generated after the installation is complete

npm config set registry [https://registry.npm.taobao.org]

npm install

Step 6: Restart the project
