Node red crashes after contrib-hue finished installing

Just my luck,
I am using a raspberry 4 for a while now for home automation together with 4 other pi's.
But now node red on the rpi4 crashed after I installed the contrib-hue.
It crashed the moment node red palletmanager finished installing contrib-hue.

This is what I get in CLI

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

It keeps trying to startup, for a second outputs etc come on, and then node red crashes.
Any chance I can safe it from death?

Go into your .node-red folder and run
npm remove node-red-contrib-what-ever-it-is
Then restart node red.

Thanks,
I removed it and re-installed it in CLI and boom, all good. Cheers
