Answer 1

you can dowgrade your Node to the 20.9 version.

Answer 2

Uninstalling Node.js from your machine depends on how you installed it. Here are the general steps for different methods:

If you installed Node.js via package manager:

For Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm

For macOS (if you used Homebrew):

brew uninstall node

If you installed Node.js via a binary package from nodejs.org:

For macOS:

You can remove the Node.js folder directly (default location is /usr/local/lib/node or /usr/local/lib/node_modules or /usr/local/include/node or /usr/local/bin/node). You can also check /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1.

For Windows:

You can uninstall it like any other Windows program. Go to the Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features, select Node.js, and click Uninstall.

If you installed Node.js via Node Version Manager (nvm):

You can uninstall a specific version with:

nvm uninstall <version>

To completely remove nvm, delete the nvm directory, which is typically located in your home directory (~/.nvm), and remove the lines that source nvm.sh in your shell profile (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, etc.).

Remember to clear the npm cache after uninstalling Node.js:

npm cache clean -f

Also, check your system's PATH to make sure there are no references to Node.js or npm left.
