Tried installing this palette and it ended up disconnecting me from NR.

I went to the command prompt to uninstall/remove it but it's not responding.

Using command: npm uninstall node-red-contrib-smstools

Keep getting an error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\var\spool\sms\incoming'

Literally just figured it out.

cd to .node-red then conducted the uninstall command.

Then I could reopen NR and went to the tab that I used the SMS and deleted them.

Deployed and everything is good now.
