title: cannot uninstall node and npm completely on high sierra
body: <p>I recently installed <strong>Node</strong> on my MacBook running <code>High Sierra 10.13</code> using the <code>.pkg</code> file supplied on their website.</p>
  
  <p>After a few hours of experimenting with installing other packages and writing scripts, I decided I would like to uninstall both Node <strong>and</strong> NPM to get a fresh start.
  I tried all of the top answers from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11177954/how-do-i-completely-uninstall-node-js-and-reinstall-from-beginning-mac-os-x">this</a> thread, but to my dismay, after having followed all instructions, and repeated all steps many times, terminal would still recognise the Node and NPM versions.</p>
  
  <p>I ended up running a <code>bash</code> script through terminal which I found on the same thread, which ended up doing nothing but downgrading my current version of Node to <code>0.10.8</code> - making it a lot more difficult to delete in the long run.</p>
  
  <p>I've re-done all of the steps from the aforementioned thread with no avail, and terminal still stating that it has version <code>0.10.8</code> (and <strong>NPM</strong> just completely not working at all)</p>
  
  <p>Currently at my last stance of what to do, so hopefully someone on here can help me with my problem.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers.</p>
