Use npm to uninstall  Just running sudo npm uninstall npm -g removes all the files  To get rid of the extraneous stuff like bash pathnames run this  from nicerobot s answer    sudo rm -rf  usr local lib node         usr local lib node modules         var db receipts org nodejs

In order to delete the  native  node js installation  I have used the method suggested in previous answers sudo npm uninstall npm -g  with additional sudo rm -rf  usr local lib node  usr local lib node modules  var db receipts org nodejs     BUT  I had to also delete the following two directories   sudo rm -rf  usr local include node  Users  USER  npm   Only after that I could install node js with Homebrew
