Delete node_modules folder recursively from a specified path using command line

Question

I have multiple npm projects saved in a local directory. Now I want to take backup of my projects without the node_modules folder, as it is taking a lot of space a

Answer 1

I have come across with this solution,

• first find the folder using find and specify name of the folder.
• execute delete command recursively -exec rm -rf '{}' +

run the following command to delete folders recursively

find /path -type d -name "node_modules" -exec rm -rf '{}' +
