I have node version 8.9.1 and npm version 5.5.1.
After installing packages using npm install, a folder named @types in node_modules is created. What is purpose of this folder?. Is it ok to delete it from node_modules folder?

5Run `npm ls @types/moduleName` to see where it comes from, one of your dependency may require it. – Gabriel Bleu Nov 23 '17 at 13:08

This @types scoped package is where we can find a ton of useful type definitions, such as for example the type definitions of node that allow us to use require for example.
