How can I find an old version of node?

Question

I've installed a new version of node via n but the version that runs is still a old one. I don't know where I installed the old version, how can I go find it and uninstall it?

You can try this:

which node

And see where the executable is.

OP wants to find his old version, not download it. – Blender Dec 22 '11 at 02:13
@Blender: And `which node` should tell him where this old version is installed at... – Thilo Dec 22 '11 at 02:15
it would be /usr/bin/node. usr/bin would be relative to your current working directory. – Richard Holland Dec 22 '11 at 02:18
Thanks Richard, very helpful! Running 0.6.6 now! – fancy Dec 22 '11 at 02:28
