How to uninstall complete NVM in windows

Question

Since my nvm is giving me access denied and status as 1. even after run as administrator in window cmd. I wanted to reinstall nvm as administrator. But not able to uninstall the nvm.

Answer 1

The clean way to uninstall would be first to uninstall all the node packages which you have installed, you can list all those packages using

nvm list

To uninstall a specific NodeJs package run

nvm uninstall v16.13.0

After you have uninstalled all the packages go to the directory

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\nvm

there you will see unins***.exe you can perform a clean uninstall there.

This will only work if you are or have installed all the node versions using NVM (Node Version Manager)

Answer 2

In your terminal, just type the code below

nvm root

This will show the root path of nvm on your computer.In the folder you can find a unins.exe file. Run it. That's all.
