# Remove Node Modules Script
This Go script recursively deletes all `node_modules` directories in the current directory and its subdirectories.
## Usage
1. **Clone or download the script** to your local machine.
2. **Navigate to the directory** where the script is located using the terminal.
3. **Run the script** with the following command:
```bash
go run remove-node-modules.go
```
This command will remove all `node_modules` directories found in the directory where the script is executed, including all subdirectories.
## How It Works
- The script traverses the directory tree starting from the directory where it is executed.
- For every subdirectory it finds named `node_modules`, it deletes the folder and all its contents using the `os.RemoveAll` function.
- The script skips further traversal into any `node_modules` directory after deleting it, ensuring that the removal is efficient.
## Prerequisites
- **Go Programming Language**: Ensure that Go is installed on your machine. You can download it from the official [Go website](https://golang.org/).
## Warning
This script permanently deletes all `node_modules` directories and their contents within the directory from which the script is executed. Use with caution.
