I've got a folder in my project directory called 'node_modules_bak'. I don't know where it comes from or what it does. Google and StackOverflow do not provide any information about this name.



Does anyone know what it is and whether I can delete it safely?

          It’s not a folder generated by node or npm or any well known tools.



          It might be something generated internally by a script or even another developer wishing to backup the modules.



          I would do a code search in all project files to see if the name comes up anywhere.
