Please try again as an admin user after uninstalling nodejs and npm from your system. After uninstalling them, please ensure they are removed from the path environment variables.

Hi , Thank you for your quick reply. Uninstalled the node js and path variables of it. I tried to uninstall npm, but I didn't understand how to do that. can I have steps to uninstall from the system?

Hi - npm gets installed and uninstalled along with nodejs. If you have already uninstalled nodejs, you are good to go. You can find several resources explaining installation/uninstallation of nodejs and npm on windows e.g. https://treehouse.github.io/installation-guides/windows/node-windows.html
