I know this post is a little dated but just wanted to share the commands that worked for me in Terminal when removing Node.js.

lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom | while read f; do  sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done
 
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*

If you're afraid of running these commands...

Thanks to jguix for this quick tutorial.

First, create an intermediate file:

lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.node.pkg.bom >> ~/filelist.txt

Manually review your file (located in your Home folder)

 ~/filelist.txt

Then delete the files:

cat ~/filelist.txt | while read f; do sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*

For 10.10.5 and above
