nvm uninstall doesn't actually uninstall the node version

Question

So I\'m trying to clear out older versions of node.js.

I start with:

$ nvm ls
      v0.10.30
      v4.2.3
->    v6.6.0
      system

Answer 1

It works now, in nvm version 0.35.1. Or at least it worked for me.

If the node version we want to uninstall is the currently used one though, before uninstalling it we need to nvm use another version.

Answer 2

removing manually:

cd ~/.nvm/versions/node
sudo rm -rf v4.2.3/

Answer 3

cd ~/.nvm/versions/node rm -Rf v4.2.3
