I'm writing this quick tip just so I don't have to google it every single time I run out of disk space. If you have a lot of JS projects on disk, that means you have a lot of node_modules
folders taking up a bunch of space. You can easily clean them up in 2 different ways:
node_modules
foldersfind . -name "node_modules" -exec rm -rf '{}' +
Be patient because this can take a while and there won't be any progress bar or visual indication that the node_modules
are being deleted
npx npkill
. This package will give you an interactive CLI which will measure how much space the node_modules
are taking and it will let you choose which ones to delete That's it, enjoy your disk space 🎉
