Node module update issue

General
34

OK I checked to see if I used the incorrect syntax on the system. I didn't.

npm uninstall -g node-red-node-email

and it replied...
up to date in 0.047s

but did not uninstall anything.
shows node-red-node-email as 0.1.29
an update is available as 1.0.4
I cannot update, I get an error.

"Failed to update: node-red-node-email
Module not locally installed
Check the log for more information"

I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm guessing I just have to use the older version.
