I tried to remove node-red-contrib-netatmo-dashboard in the palette but it failed.
Is there a way to remove this module directly in the .node-red folder?
Helps if you share the error message.
You can remove manually from a command line on the server:
cd ~/.node-red
npm remove node-red-contrib-netatmo-dashboard
Then restart Node-RED.
If it said it is still in use, but you think you have removed all the nodes, go to Configuration Nodes in the menu and make sure there is not an unused netatmo config node there. If there is you can select and Delete it.
This is what I get when removing in Node-red.
Node-Red.Dashboard is still in the Palette.
No configuration node left over

removing it on the RPI as you mentioned above some message
This is a know problem with some versions of npm that occasionally it leaves temporary folders lying about that then cause this problem. Look in the folder /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/ and delete any folders there with a string of random letters on the end, similar to that one. Then you should be good to go.
Hi Colin,
thanks for your advice.
It worked!
