users appdata/roaming/npm folder - safe to delete?

[norricorp]

Hi,

I am unable to create a new project (ng new). It fails with permissions problems on the above folder.

I have reinstalled / upgraded via the instructions in the wiki but same problem.

Is it safe to delete this folder?

Regards,

John

Hi John,

Yes, it's safe to delete. it will kill all your globally install npm packages.

Thanks Sander. I actually I did try it earlier and reinstalled but still same problem. I will update the original topic on this problem because there is something you may know about.
