Due to all of the problems I’ve had upgrading to 1.6 due to duplicate files in various node_module directories, I’d like to get rid of everything I don’t need and do a clean install using choco, but at this point, I don’t know what is safe to delete. I’ve been updating Meteor for my project since 1.1.4 and have what would seem to be lots of unneeded node_module directories. I have one under
Users/Ron/myProject
that I believe should just contain modules that myProject needs, there is one under
Users/Ron/myProject/.meteor/local/build/programs/server/npm
that I’m guessing is created as part of the build process, one under
Users/Ron/AppData/Local/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/1.6.0/mt_os.windows.x86_*/dev_bundle/lib
that contains the modules Meteor needs, one under
AppData/Roaming/npm
which I think are global npm installs, and one under
Users/Ron
that I have no idea what is used for.
In addition, under the AppData/.../meteor-tool
directory I have multiple old installs.
My question is, what can I delete? I would guess the entire AppData/Local/.meteor
directory can be removed, and possibly the one under Users/Ron
. If I remove the one under myProject
will it get recreated after I install 1.6.0 64-bit and I do the first rebuild of myProject?
Can anyone provide some guidance? Or am I going to have to make a copy of everything and then do it via trial and error?
