I cannot run npm install-CodePudding

I've dual Boot(ubuntu/Windows 10) on my laptop. I am getting this error and I can't run npm install on Ubuntu. I checked with node -v and it shows v17.4.0 :

npm does not support Node.js v13.14.0

npm ERR! Invalid or unexpected token

Have you tried updating your npm?

If no, run this:

sudo apt-get install -y npm

or check this:

Update: I had to uninstall and remove all the folders related to node and npm. I've also installed the latest version of nvm 0.39 and only then I managed to actually upgrade the node to the right version. Everything is working now.

How can I completely uninstall nodejs, npm and node in Ubuntu
