Hello,

Does anyone know how to completely uninstall everything related to Appium? Currently I have node,NPM, and Appium installed. 

When I try to uninstall NPM I get the following:

>[@<version> [<name>[@<version>] ...]
npm ERR! npm rm <name>[@<version> [<name>[@<version>] ...]
npm ERR! not ok code 0

I would like to start fresh and reinstall everything I need.

Thanks
James

To remove appium try: npm uninstall -g appium or npm uninstall appium
npm can be removed by removing node.js (if you're using windows)

I've tried running that but I get the following:

 npm uninstall -g appium
npm WARN uninstall not installed in /usr/local/lib/node_modules: "appium"

All depends on how did you install appium.
If you used installer then try to remove it from Add or remove programs (Control panel). If you used zip package just remove the appium folder.
And you already know how to uninstall npm package.

I installed the app from the website, but also installed it via npm. I also have brew installed… I don't remember the exact order I did things…so my computer is a mess right now, which is why I want to uninstall everything and start over. Also, I am using a macbook pro running 10.8.5

I don't have mac but the simplest way is to search through spotlight, I think. But you'd better wait for mac users answers.
And btw, npm -g list or npm list will show all installed packages and their dependencies.
brew list will do the same.
