How to delete all node_modules folder in system !!!

Nodejs application or npm based application node_modules will take a lot of system memory and eventually our system memory will dry up, its not easy task to find and remove all node_modules in one go.

Wrote simple CLI to do this clean that's "mo-clean", its a simple CLI that finds the all node_modules in the system by root path and provides the details like memory taken, last used time, and path. after getting all information it will remove those node_modules from the system.
