getting error Cannot find module '@angular/compiler-cli/ngcc' in angular 8

Question

I am getting this error when I trying to run ng serve from my terminal window.

An unhandled exception occurred: Cannot find module '@angular/compiler-cli/ngcc'

Below is my package.json file

My angular global version matches the angular/cli version in package .json. They both are 8.3.1. Below is the image for ng --version. I did both the command below, but still getting the same error:

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm install -g @angular/cli

any help will be higly appreciated.

After running these:

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm install -g @angular/cli

Do this:

npm install

If npm audit fix is prompted, run it.
