Run `npm config delete prefix` or `nvm use --delete-prefix v4.4.5` to unset it.

+1, I get the same, whether it's in bash or zsh. Can't install or use node.

➜  ~ nvm use 6

zsh: command not found: node

Running nvm use --delete-prefix v6.2.1 doesn't have any effect either.

Confirmed the error on 14352. The good news is that there is a fix inbound. Trying this on an internal build:

russ@RUSSALEX-BOOK:~$ nvm install 4.4.5
Downloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.4.5/node-v4.4.5-linux-x64.tar.xz...

Now using node v4.4.5 (npm v2.15.5)

Fixed in build 14361.
