Collect, sort, and obliterate
node_modulesfolders across your machine at ludicrous speed.
npmclean is a tiny, blazing-fast utility written in Go designed to reclaim disk space from dead JavaScript projects.
It scans for node_modules in your directories and lets you delete them interactively — faster than npkill, twice as responsive, and with slick theme support.
