Uninstalling node and npm and then again reinstalling

I have run into an [issue] and looking to remove nodejs and npm completely and then install again. I have installed node from the terminal. What's the best way to do it? My system is Ubuntu 20.04LTS.

Current version:

node -v
v12.16.3
npm -v
6.14.4

If you used apt install nodejs and apt install npm, you can remove it with apt purge nodejs and apt purge npm.

But if you used snap, then you can run the following command: snap remove node.
