First of all remove all the instances of nodejs. For a fresh new install. Since your's is not working use

sudo apt-get purge nodejs

Then install nvm which is the best tool to install nodejs and npm.

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.6/install.sh | bash

Update your bash

source ~/.profile

The below code will install the node version 6.11.5 Or check the github page of node version manager(nvm)

nvm install v6.11.5

Now hopefully your system will work with node without any issue
