maybe it'd be better if, when a dry run, it checked that npm has permissions to rimraf node_modules?

I am not sure what you mean by 'permissions'. Sorry this is my first time contributing to npm.

It wasn't checking for any permissions before so I am confused.

You’re right, but i meant it’d be useful and match the “dry run” semantics

Checking permissions in node is mostly done by trying the operation and then reporting to the user if it failed. It's even discouraged for things like
fs.access
to be used for this purpose. With that in mind I think it's fine fordry-run
to simply tell the user what it would try to do. It is not meant to be a test of if npm will eventually be able to succeed. Many other things could go wrong (i.e. running out of disk space).This PR appears fine as-is (I am not done fully reviewing it but at a glance it appears mostly on the right track).

presumably deleting files wouldn't cause disk space to run out :-)
def that enhancement could be done as a follow through regardless
