reactjs – I accidentally did an npm install on reacct-dom instead of react-dom. What should I do?

I tried running the command

npm install react react-dom

But I ended up typing

npm install react reacct-dom

When I was getting errors, I went back and sure enough found my mistake. I promply deleted the packages using:

npm un react reacct-dom

but I am worried I might have downloaded something malicious that is persistent. What should I do?

When I looked up ‘npm reacct-dom’ I found this website:

www.npmjs.com/~arch.lin?activeTab=packages

upon looking at this guys packages he has many that are typos of reacct-dom.

Again I uninstalled the package using npm un react reacct-dom. I don’t know if I could still be in danger of malware.
