Windows system

We will find that it takes 10 minutes to half an hour to delete the node_modules folder directly under Windows or cannot be deleted.
reason：

1. Too many directories or too deep levels lead to slow deletion or cannot be recursively deleted.

2. Windows will remind you that there is no permission.

Solution：

Method 1: Enter the directory where the project is located and use the CMD command to enter the DOCS console to execute the following commands to quickly delete it.

rd /s /q node_modules

Method 2: Use PowerShell or git bash to enter the command console and execute the following commands to quickly delete (Recommended, faster）。

rm -rf ./node_modules

Method 3: Use npm's rimraf tool to implement it directly in the projectDelete in seconds(Requires installation of the library)

npm install rimraf -g

rimraf node_modules

Linux system

Method 1: Use the rm command to achieve fast recursive deletion

rm -rf ./node_modules

Method 2: Use npm's rimraf tool to implement it directly in the projectDelete in seconds(Requires installation of the library)

npm install rimraf -g

rimraf node_modules
