Best way to uninstall NodeJS and NPM from the installer

What is the best way to uninstall NodeJS and NPM installed from the executable installer of https://nodejs.org

How do I find all files installed by NodeJS in order to clean and reinstall the new version?

Thanks in advanced.

Personally, I prefer to use nvm rather than screwing around with manually handling install/uninstall of node versions.. it lets you easily change between versions whenever you want, with no need to uninstall if you don't want to.
