I just unistalled some global packages, and afterwards i noticed that there is an empty folder (namely, @vue) left in C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ (i uninstalled two packages inside, @vue/cli and another one, forgot the name).

Can i manually delete such empty folders or do they serve a purpose for npm?

if you have uninstalled the package following below instructions, there is no harm if the folder exist or not. https://docs.npmjs.com/uninstalling-packages-and-dependencies#uninstalling-global-packages

You can ignore or delete the folder, whenever you run a global command npm consider this as uninstalled

Thanks, and yup, that link was my source of truth. Did npm uninstall -g <package> a few times and afterwards npm cache verify.
