@zolabus we don’t use ical anymore. weird, do

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

[zolabus]

@sdetweil same problem…

[sdetweil]

@zolabus

 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/ical

this folder does not exist in the latest release

and if u deleted the node_modules folder (per the prior instructions) it should not exist on your system either

do

grep version ~/MagicMirror/package.json

I saved all the modules I had installed…
What else for a backup?
What about a clean reinstallation?
How can I delete everything? It’s enough if I delete the MagicMirror folder?
