Hi,

I am trying to update node red nodes, however I get an error message every time I try.

NodeRed version 13.3.1.

Yes I resolved it.

Node red needs to be running. You go to the directory for node red and delete the following folder:

Remove the directory: /config/node-red/node_modules/.node-red-node-email-9kimBKpy**

So you need to delete .node-red-node-email-9kimBKpy

Take a backup first. This will then allow you to update the email node.

I have the same. But when I delete a folder a new one comes up with a warning.
Do I need to delete them all??
What will happen with all the installed nodes?

I just deleted the nodered email folders, and the contents within them.
