How to delete the localy installed version of npx command?

Question

When I execute a command with npx, npx propose me to install a version locally.

Example

npx matcha-stock -s=MSFT

If the version is updated on npm.org, npx gives me only the version installed locally and doesn't check if an updated version exists.

If I execute

npx matcha-stock@latest -s=MSFT

I get the latest version of the tool.

But, if I execute again

npx matcha-stock -s=MSFT

I got the previous installation.

Question: How to uninstall, clear the cache of the locally installed version of the command ?

#npx #NPM

Answer 1

The dependencies of each of these commands are stored in a cache at .npm/_npx/*/node_modules, when I tried blowing all those away it worked.

Finding which one to delete

ls ~/.npm/_npx/*/node_modules | grep matcha-stock

Just deleting them all

rm -r ~/.npm/_npx/
