Hey everyone! I'm looking for some tips on how to keep my computer tidy when it comes to installing and uninstalling software frameworks for my projects. I recently decided to stop using Expo for Android development, and I'm finding it tough to remember all the libraries and tools I added for it. This also happened when I had to install various programs for my computer science classes. Any advice on how to manage this better would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A good tip is to install tools like Expo locally instead of globally. When you do that, they go into the `node_modules` folder of your project, so when you’re finished, you just delete that folder, and everything goes with it!
To keep things neat, try to avoid global installations. Using virtual environments or Docker can help manage your projects. Docker creates lightweight containers for each project, so you can easily clean up everything when you're done!
Thanks for the tip!
Yes! Docker is a great choice for isolating your projects. It allows you to have everything you need for a project in its own container. When you're ready to move to the cloud, you can upload your Docker image and it runs the same way there!
Thank you!
Thanks for the advice!
