Good morning,
can anyone help me on the following error?
I have tried to uninstall everything and reinstall by following various guides but the problem persists.
Thanks so much

Hi @TE_developer

have you installed any extra nodes, or perhaps been developing your own?

This error can happen when Node-RED loads a Node module that is missing its html file.

Hi @knolleary,
previously I had installed node red but it gave an error in installing the modules.
So I deleted, in theory, and reinstalled everything.
Is there any specific command to redo a clean install?

Also (but probably not the cause of the error) that command attempts to start node-red using a flows file called start. You mean either node-red or node-red-start (I don't know if that is valid for windows).
