          @sdetweil Quite often I have a logo at the top of my Magic Mirror
          Sans titre.png
          and I had for several days on te top of my MM the MMM-Jast to update and MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify and MMM-DHT-Sensor had not worked. So first I updapte my MM and second uninstall MMM-Jast, MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify and MMM-DHT-Sensor

          cd ~/MagicMirror
          rm -rf modules/module_to_delete
          

          and reinstall them
          This is where Electron appeared…

                    @RIKKO14 correct… in linux most commands return nothing if successful…

                    so that is good… you asked to erase a folder
                    and it did that

                    now restart MagicMirror

                    pm2 start MagicMirror

                        @RIKKO14 fun… try this

                        we need to edit a js file

                        cd ~/MagicMirror/js
                        nano electron.js
                        

                        scroll down to

                        	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
                        

                        add a bank line after

                        on the blank line, copy/paste these lines

                        	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                              event.preventDefault();
                              // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                              shell.openExternal(url);
                          });
                        

                        so it looks like this when you are done

                        	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
                        	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                              event.preventDefault();
                              // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                              shell.openExternal(url);
                          });
                        	mainWindow.loadURL(`${prefix}${address}:${config.port}`);
                        

                        ctrl-o to save the file
                        ctrl-x to exit nano
                        cd …

                        then

                        pm2 restart MagicMirror
