Uninstall doesn't discuss restoring `npm set prefix %NODIST_PREFIX%\bin`

See original GitHub issue

Is the correct uninstall procedure to npm config delete prefix? If so, I can PR this into place.

Check the .npmrc file in your windows user home directory, e.g. C:\Users\your-name-here\.npmrc

I actually think nodist is good, but nvm is also a great choice; there is a new package available for Windows that is not official, but works fine. I had this issue and saw that @robrich and @marcelklehr conclude on the same answer. Thanks to both of you. This worked for me! Using node 6.10.3 and npm 3.10.10
