http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11177954/how-do-i-completely-uninstall-node-js-and-reinstall-from-beginning-mac-os-x

 

Apparently, there was a “/Users/myusername/local” folder that contained a “include” with “node” and “lib” with “node” and “node_modules”. How and why this was created instead of in my “/usr/local” folder, I do not know.

Deleting these local references fixed the phantom v0.6.1-pre. If anyone has an explanation, I’ll choose that as the correct answer.

EDIT:

To recap, the best way (I’ve found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:

  1. go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
  2. go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory
  3. if you installed with brew install node, then run brew uninstall node in your terminal
  4. check your Home directory for any local or lib or include folders, and delete any node ornode_modules from there
  5. go to /usr/local/bin and delete any node executable

You may need to do the additional instructions as well:

  1. sudo rm /usr/local/bin/npm
  2. sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1
  3. sudo rm /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d
  4. sudo rm -rf ~/.npm
  5. sudo rm -rf ~/.node-gyp
  6. sudo rm /opt/local/bin/node
  7. sudo rm /opt/local/include/node
  8. sudo rm -rf /opt/local/lib/node_modules

Then download nvm and follow the instructions to install node. The latest versions of node come with npm, I believe, but you can also reinstall that as well.
