[BUG] npm ci --dry-run deletes node_modules folders

[ASDFGerte]

Current Behavior:

Executing npm ci --dry-run deletes all folders in node_modules.

Expected Behavior:

Optimally, just the text output, as --dry-run describes, or an error, that it's incompatible with npm ci.

Environment:

• OS: Windows 7
• Node: 15.6.0
• npm: 7.4.0

@ASDFGerte I just tried this with the latest v7 (ie. npm i -g npm@7) & could not replicate. Can you try installing the latest version & trying again? If you're still experiencing this issue, I'll reopen.

@darcyclarke this is still happening on npm version 9.2.0.
