Recently, I learned to use node development and use yo to automatically build project dependency files. The node_modules directory is too deeply nested, such as:

D:\10Study\test\node_modules\forever\node_modules\forever-monitor\node_modules\broadway\node_modules\winston\node_modules\request\node_modules\
form-data\node_modules\combined-stream\node_modules\delayed-stream\test\integration\test-delayed-stream-auto-pause.js

To delete D:\10Study\test\node_modulesthe directory and all its files, it is prompted that the path is too long (too deep) and cannot be deleted.
Various rdand delcommands have been tried to no avail.

rd /s/q D:\10Study\test\node_modules
路径 D:\10Study\test\node_modules\forever\node_modules\forever-monitor\node_modules\broadway\node_modules\winston\node_modules\request\node_modules\form-data\node_modules\combined-stream\node_modules\delayed-stream\test\integration\test-delayed-stream-auto-pause.js 太长。

Solution

Create a new blank directory, such as D:\10Study\temp;
Open a command line window in administrator mode;
Enter robocopy D:\10Study\temp D:\10Study\test\node_modules /purge.

Get it done.

robocopy D:\10Study\temp D:\10Study\test\node_modules /purge
