Manually uninstalling create-react-app because npm uninstall not working

Question

I try to uninstall create-react-app globally

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

But it gives me this result

up to date, audited 1 package in 264ms

found 0 vulnerabilities

I have node version v17.3.0 (currently the latest stable version) and npm 8.3.0 (i've run npm update)

Is it sufficient to do this manually?

1. delete the alias /usr/local/bin/create-react-app (find it with which create-react-app)
2. delete the folder that it refers to: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/create-react-app/

Try clearing the npx cache with this command:

npx clear-npx-cache

This worked for me.
