Did you check in the code? Because then you can revert to the commit prior to the one you made the changes to.

In order to clean node_modules you need to execute 2 steps:
1) rm -rf node_modules/
2) npm i

Step 1) removes node_modules folder with all its content from the app
Step 2) re-installs all packages specified in package.json file

Now your app will have a clean node_modules folder with just the needed packages installed.

If you discard to before you started and then clean the node_modules folder and then run npm install and then run your project you should be fine.

You move to latest version of react native. move back to old version of react native.
