If you haven't found a use for this script that uninstalls the second largest junk in the world next to Mac/iOS updates, you are either lazy or scared of breaking things. I am neither, so I polished this script from the different versions you will find on the internet. Oh, I am talking about node/npm.
dump_dir_name="node_junk_`date +%s%N`"
dump_dir="${HOME}/Temp/${dump_dir_name}/"
echo "NODE/NPM UNINSTALLER v0.0.1
This uninstaller moves all the node/npm files and folders to ${dump_dir}.
Happy cleaning!
