How did I upgrade Node.js from 9.4 to 20.5 in Debian 10 (Buster)?

Step 1

rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Step 2

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash -

It created an updated /etc/apt/sources.list.d file.

github.com/nodesource/distributions/tree/745b5834#installation-instructions

Step 3

apt-get install nodejs

github.com/nodesource/distributions/tree/745b5834#installation-instructions

Step 4

rm -f /usr/local/bin/node

Why does Node.js still shows its old version after its upgrade on Debian 10?
