I am using windows 10 and whenever I want to delete node_modules I get the following error:

Invalid MS-Dos function which is cause by the datamaps folder. Check the attachment. Does anyone knows how can I delete this datamaps?

Thanks

    The problem is the 2 files with the name nul.

    If you cant delete a null file run the following command . rename \.\C:\Projects\Company.Product.Web.MVC\node_modules\datamaps\src\js\deletefile\nul.json deletefile.txt

    Then just delete the deletefile.txt

    Run npm uninstall datamaps in command prompt. It will delete nil.json and nil.topo.jdon. These two files are causing issue.

    I use rimraf ([https://github.com/isaacs/rimraf])) to delete node_modules. Deletes stuff in node_modules when everything else fails.

    I used Visual Studio Code. Just browse to the folder, right click and 'delete' each each file

    I also use <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/isaacs/rimraf">https://github.com/isaacs/rimraf</a>, it is faster than regular delete operation.
