        open a terminal window
        ctrl-alt-t

        cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
        rm -rf   xxxxx
        

        where xxxxx is the module you have installed and now want to delete.

        exact letter case matters
        foo is not the same as Foo on Linux

        then do

        cd ~/MagicMirror/config
        nano config.js
        

        use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move up and down, left and right

        find the entry

        module:"xxxxx`,
        

        where xxxxx is the module u want to delete
        move the cursor to the right end of that line

        hit the enter key
        type

         disabled:true,
        

        hit Ctrl-o
        hit enter

        hit ctrl-x

        you will be back at the terminal window prompt

        do

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        

        you can now restart MagicMirror however you do that
        npm start
        or
        pm2 restart

        read the two links in my signature below
        we did the disable approach cause it’s the easiest to do, and requires the least amount of content format knowledge.
