I Can't remove AWS-CDK from Linux

I have installed AWS-CDK on my system. It has been some time since the install, and I can't quite recall the mechanism used to install it, but I cannot seem to remove it now;

~:> which cdk
/usr/local/bin/cdk

trying to uninstall ...

~:> npm uninstall aws-cdk

up to date, audited 1 package in 158ms

found 0 vulnerabilities
~:> npm uninstall -g aws-cdk

removed 1 package, and audited 1 package in 201ms

found 0 vulnerabilities
~:> which cdk
/usr/local/bin/cdk

It just doesn't seem to go away?

Is there, perhaps, a different way that I might have installed it other than npm?

I'm running Ubuntu

You need to uninstall it with sudo command.

sudo npm uninstall aws-cdk

Because aws-cdk installs a binary named cdk so that we can use it in terminal, you had to install it as root user.

sudo npm install aws-cdk

So you have to uninstall it as root user.
