Can I delete an older version of node?

Due to lack of disk space I want to remove old or unused folders. I found out that there is still 14.15.0 node folder even though 15.1.0 is the current version I use.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72M Nov  4 18:26 /usr/local/n/versions/node/15.1.0/bin/node
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 71M Oct 27 12:23 /usr/local/n/versions/node/14.15.0/bin/node

Is it safe to delete it?

if you are using a node version manager (= nvm) you may use that to remove the older version.

I see /n/ in the path of binary file - you can use it to remove the old one.

Removing Versions

# Remove some cached versions:
n rm 0.9.4 v0.10.0
# Removing all cached versions except the current version:
n prune
