Flattening npm_modules folder

I have an ASP.NET Core 1.0 app with an npm_modules folder in it. Each NPM module brings its own dependencies into its folder -- of course each dependency repeats this behavior and we end up with a gazillion levels of subfolders which create a problem on Windows when publishing the app -- the infamous path too long error.

I understand that the new version of NPM uses a flat folder approach. How do I fix this issue on my existing ASP.NET Core app which still has folders within folders for package dependencies?

Simply delete the node_modules folder in your current project directory and then do an npm install. This will download all of your package dependencies again while using the new flattened dependency structure of NPM v3.
