Hello  
I want to install a package (@mschaeffler/node-red-logic) in Node-Red (Home Assistant) via Manage palette. Instead of the Install button there is a field written conflict.  
But I can't delete the node (node-red-contrib-counter) that poses a problem because it doesn't display the uninstall button...

 ![Ps1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/e/5/e599568d0c3691773a6d37edc889f8434034069b.png)

How can I solve this problem?

Hi and Welcome,  
Have you tried removing all `counter` nodes and then reloading the editor?

Hi GogoVega  
I have disabled the node.I don't use it.  
The uninstall button is not present.

If you have access to a terminal session on the node-red server, you can remove it manually using `npm`. Don't forget to restart node-red and reload the Editor afterwards.

Access to the command line of a container(NR) is disabled by default in HAOS. The easiest way to get there is to install this version of [portainer](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/tree/master/portainer). From the gui browse to the nr container and choose console.
