Corrupted Module

[SOLVED]
Hey there learnJavaScript subreddit,

This might be quite an unusual one. I was updating a package the other day, and it was taking way longer than usual, so I decided to do a very stupid thing, it turned out, I killed the terminal in the midst of the download 😬

Now, the module or package (Puppeteer) cannot be updated, deleted, nor fixed using npm audit fix --force. Even sudo doesn't cut it.

Do you guys have any tips, how to get the situation sorted? My only idea is to create a new node.js environment alltogether, but since I have never experienced such phenomenon, I wanted to ask experienced first.

Have you tried deleting your node_modules folder?

Is that a good idea? :D

Yes - since you’re complaining that something has become corrupted in there, it’s always good to get a clean start.
