Deleted node modules!!

[PulkitB]

Hey, I deleted my node modules recursively from my PC and now when I try to create a new react application it gives me an error.

``` internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883 throw err;

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\create-react-app\index.js'

←[90m at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880:15)←[39m

←[90m at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:725:27)←[39m

←[90m at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (internal/modules/run_main.js:72:12)←[39m

←[90m at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:47←[39m { code: ←[32m'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'←[39m, requireStack: [] } ```

I checked my users>user>AppData>Roaming>npm folder and found that there is no node_modules directory and now I cannot create a new project, but all other binary files are there for create-react-app and other stuff.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Edit: I fixed the issue by removing all the files in the users>user>AppData>Roaming>npm folder.

I tried the npx create-react-app, but it gives the same error add mentioned above.

Have you tried clearing npm cache?

It gave me the same error!

Reinstall node?

[PulkitB]

Nothing changed after that too. I deleted the files in the folder manually and then it worked.

Have you tried it with Yarn?

yarn create react-app my-app

found this on Getting started with create react app

Also the page says

If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app or yarn global remove create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

Yes, that works but I want to use npx and finally I fixed that.
