+### Synopsis
+
+So sad to see you go.
+
+```bash
+sudo npm uninstall npm -g
+```
+
+Or, if that fails, please proceed to more severe uninstalling methods.
+
+### More Severe Uninstalling
+
+Usually, the above instructions are sufficient.  That will remove
+npm, but leave behind anything you've installed.
+
+If that doesn't work, or if you require more drastic measures,
+continue reading.
+
+Note that this is only necessary for globally-installed packages.  Local
+installs are completely contained within a project's `node_modules`
+folder.  Delete that folder, and everything is gone unless a package's
+install script is particularly ill-behaved.
+
+This assumes that you installed node and npm in the default place.  If
+you configured node with a different `--prefix`, or installed npm with a
+different prefix setting, then adjust the paths accordingly, replacing
+`/usr/local` with your install prefix.
+
+To remove everything npm-related manually:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/npm*
+```
+
+If you installed things *with* npm, then your best bet is to uninstall
+them with npm first, and then install them again once you have a
+proper install.  This can help find any symlinks that are lying
+around:
+
+```bash
+ls -laF /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm},bin,share/man} | grep npm
+```
+
+Prior to version 0.3, npm used shim files for executables and node
+modules.  To track those down, you can do the following:
+
+```bash
+find /usr/local/{lib/node,bin} -exec grep -l npm \{\} \; ;
+```
