I am having issues with removing the node `node-red-contrib-tts-ultimate`
Node red is working ok, but after I removed this node from node-red, I get following message during start-up of node-red,
```auto

Presumably you have checked for unused config nodes?

How did you remove the node?
- delete the dir/files from .node-red/node-modules?
- using the palette manager?
- using command line `npm remove ...`
TBH: Regardless of the above question, I suspect this is related to a buggy version of `npm` where temporary directories were left behind during failed installs.
I suspect deleting the directory `/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/.node-red-contrib-tts-ultimate-fe4jhxbd/` and restarting will solve your issues.

Yes, I did.

I used the palletmanager, as always.
I will try deleting the directory,
`/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/.node-red-contrib-tts-ultimate-fe4jhxbd/`

I tried deleting the directory,
`/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/.node-red-contrib-tts-ultimate`,
Then restarting node-red, but no change in startup.

I am sorry, I deleted the directory
`/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-tts-ultimate/`
after I saw mistake, I deleted the directory,
`/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/.node-red-contrib-tts-ultimate-fe4jhxbd/`
Now it is ok, no more warnings about tts-ultimate.
Thanks @Steve-Mcl
