Answer 1

I was presenting the same problem, until I realized that I had an instance of create-react-app installed globally, apparently this generates a kind of conflict, I solved it as follows:

• Check the npm folder in the following path: C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/npm

I noticed that in this npm folder I had executable files of create-react-app. So I deleted all the npm folder and also uninstall node and reinstalled it and that solved my problem. I hope this is useful for you.

Answer 2

This is because the create-react-app is not fully deleted from global packages, so to delete it completely goto 'C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm' and delete the create-react-app.cmd file

Answer 3

To show a list of globally installed packages:

npm -g list

To install create-react-app globally:

npm install -g create-react-app

I will use:

npx create-react-app [project-name] 

Answer 4

in my opinion you just install react app latest on your terminal dude. npx-create-app@latest . (.) react is installed in an existing folder. hoppely this my answer help to solve your problem
