Removing gulp and starting over
I have an old project from two years ago that I am trying to update. At this point I want to remove gulp completely from my machine and start over with the new guide for version 4 of npm install --global gulp-cli, but I get the following error:
npm ERR! code EEXIST
npm ERR! Refusing to delete /Users/danale/.npm-global/share/man/man1/gulp.1: ../../../lib/node_modules/gulp/gulp.1 symlink target is not controlled by npm /Users/danale/.npm-global/share/man/man1
npm ERR! File exists: /Users/danale/.npm-global/share/man/man1/gulp.1
npm ERR! Move it away, and try again.
I have tried rm -rf node_modules/, then npm install gulp-cli -g and the error returns. The file that needs to be deleted is here 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 danale admin 36 Aug 18 2017 gulp -> ../lib/node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js.
I have tried $ rm ~/lib/node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js.
rm: /Users/danale/lib/node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js: No such file or directory
I am still unable to remove it. How do I remove gulp completely from my Mac OSX and just start over according to current gulp documentation?

Looks like it worked when I removed the file like so:
rm /Users/danale/.npm-global/share/man/man1/gulp.1 and then tried:
$ npm install --global gulp-cli
/Users/danale/.npm-global/bin/gulp -> /Users/danale/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js
+ gulp-cli@2.0.1

Looks like it worked when I removed the file like so:
rm /Users/danale/.npm-global/share/man/man1/gulp.1 and then tried:
$ npm install --global gulp-cli
/Users/danale/.npm-global/bin/gulp -> /Users/danale/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js
+ gulp-cli@2.0.1
