Error: ENOENT, readdir 'C:\Users\#######\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules'

[GusGF]

As a complete newbie to JS I'm using Brackets to code some simple HTML and JavaScript.

All ran fine yesterday and the only change I made today was to disable JSLint in favour of ESLint by deleting the relevant extension folder.

I also disabled extensions (Brackets Icons + W3CValidation) but I don't see this being related.

Now for some reason I'm getting this error. 

C:\Users\#######\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules     ....does not exist

I do have C:\Users\fergus\AppData\Roaming\npm  but it only contains a folder called 'etc' and I have looked on my drive and there is no 'node_modules' folder!!

I have set up many IDEs and development environments including Oracle servers but I have never encountered so many problems as I have trying to get JS to run from an editor such as Brackets.

Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried reinstalling nodejs? Looks like you have corrupted the nodejs installation.
