Feeling like a fool.. can't remove errant node

[greenembrace]

I admit it i should not have been playing in my live system, was doing a couple of things at once so not completely sure where the problem is.

I'm unable to access the editor just blank, a spinner in the palette strip just spins. However the flows are working. The last thing i did was install a flow and required nodes. I'm getting and error message:

29 Jan 10:03:37 - [error] [function:Filter IP] TypeError: Cannot read property 'v4' of undefined

Which i think relates to node: "node-red-contrib-ip"

I can't disable the flow as i can't access the tab. can't remove it as it running...
I have tried to start in --safe mode and remove using admin tool

daniel@automation:~/.node-red $ node-red --safe

I can access the palette manager, and tried to remove that way.

I need an IQ booster shot

try this, stop NR and while in the .node-red enter npm remove node-red-contrib-ip and that should remove the node. Then you can start NR again and go find our where it is missing.

@zenofmud

npm remove node-red-contrib-ip

Hi @zenofmud Paul, thanks that seemed to remove the errand node, i also removed the other nodes related directly to that flow. But that did't work then i noticed i line in the startup message:

a missing file: node-red-contrib-xterm/lib/xterm.js

so i removed node-red-contrib-xterm and I'm back in although I suspect it was a combination of those nodes.

thank-you for putting me on the correct path. I promise not to play in the live system.
