Does anyone know the procedure to uninstall node.red in window 10?
Make folders and registry clean

I did not find information on the official website.

Something during the last updates from verses 0.17 to 0.18.4 must have gone wrong, 
I found several folders node-modules in the disk and this causes me problems in updating the nodes,
creating conflicts with nodes installed globally and locally

I would like to uninstall and reinstall the node-red environment

Thanks 
for any suggestions

You need to do "npm uninstall -g node-red"

You might also need to force the cache clean though this is not supposed to be needed any more. "npm cache clean --force -g"

To completely remove all trace, you should then delete the ".node-red" folder from all user home folders (there will be one in any user that has run node-red).

Doing "npm ls -g --depth=0" will show you if you have any other global modules you might want to delete.

That's it.
