Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the: node-red-contrib-websocket  
I tried to install the node with: npm uninstall node-red-contrib-websocket  
But this didn't work.

Is there anything else I can do?

The conflict:

The problem that I want to solve is that the build in web socket doesn't connect. It says always "disconnected".  
I don't know what to do...

Can anyone help me?

Were you in the .node-red folder? If you were then do it again and show us the command output.

Did you restart node red after removing it?

Yes I restarted node-red. But didn't make a difference.

What should I do in the .node-red folder?

The npm uninstall command.
