Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\nguye\AppData\Local\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js'

Question

Well, I installed a outdated package and I...broke npm. Error:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:959
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\nguye\AppData\Local\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js'
←[90m    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:956:15)←[39m
←[90m    at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:804:27)←[39m
←[90m    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)←[39m
←[90m    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47←[39m {
  code: ←[32m'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'←[39m,
  requireStack: []

And when I try to fix it, then this happened: (I use Node.js 16.17.0 LTS)

>npm i npm-cli --save
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:959
  throw err;
  ^

Uninstall node and npm, and reinstall. This will probably set the paths correctly in your system.

Delete the node_modules directory
Delete the package-lock.json file
Run npm install
Run npm start or npm run dev
