I installed per accident an update of node-red v132.  
I hit a node-red update flow.  
Is there a easy way back to 1.28 or 1.29 or can i (we 🙂 solve below problems ?

After update two things doent work

1. all my data (projects) wont show.  
project is disabled it says

strange because my settings files is ok  
// Customising the editor  
editorTheme: {  
projects: {  
// To enable the Projects feature, set this value to true  
enabled: true  
}  
}

1. my https does not work anymore,

Issue 1 is the most important !  
@update:  
It looks like my node-red 1.32 executes /root/.node-red  
instead off  
/home/pi/.node-red !!!  
Where can i change this? this could solve all problems accept the unwanted version (but if this is stable enough thats no problem!

That means that you have run node-red as the root user, usually either by running it manually with `sudo node-red` or, if running with systemd, you forgot to include the user setting.

i activated a flow (an update node-red flow) in NODE-red.  
So strange that this flow puts the software under ROOT?

The code is: sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red  
So i have to remove the sudo part, and it then autom. installs in /home/pi?

The question is how you _run_ Node-RED, not how you install it.

By default, Node-RED creates and uses a directory called `.node-red` in the home directory of the user running it.
