nvm uninstall doesn't actually uninstall the node version

问题

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

I don't want the older versions, so I then do:

$ nvm uninstall 4.2.3
Uninstalled node v4.2.3

I then verify that it's done what I wanted, but it gives the same list of installed versions as before:

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

Specifically, v4.2.3 is still there.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Any other way to force the uninstall? I'm using the Cloud 9 IDE.

回答1:

removing manually:

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

回答2:

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

// Try clearing cash nvm cache clear

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.
