ENOTEMPTY when installing node from palette since nodered 3.0 (directory not empty)

General
21

I did rename the folder ".agent-base-MyGAUl8n" to ".agent-base-MyGAUl8n-OLD" but this didn't resolve anything.
Getting multiple errors trying to update, delete or install any nodes. After restarting everything I tried to install bigtimer and got the error below.

Delete any folders starting with a dot in node_modules.

Deleted all node_modules folders starting with a dot. All 323 of them. Restarted node-red and still getting errors. Now node-red seem to working correctly. Just can update or install new nodes.
