Cannot uninstall angular-cli
Solution 1:
I have also faced the same issue in recent past for me I have do the following commands one by one in terminal.
sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli
sudo npm cache clean
After this run
ng -v
If still get angular-cli version 1.0.0-beta.2x.x then run the following command
which ng
It will show the ng path. Go to the path and if it is linked with any file remove the same the link and actual ng file. In my case the link is in /usr/bin/ng and actual path of ng file is /lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng.
sudo rm -rf /lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/ng
Next you need to install @angular/cli using
sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
Close all the terminal and run ng -v and you are on. May be it will help someone. Thanks :)
Solution 2:
If you are facing issue with angular/cli then use the following commands: npm uninstall -g angular-cli
to uninstall the angular/cli. npm cache clean
to clean your npm cache from app data folder under your username.
use npm cache verify
to verify your cache whether it is corrupted or not.
use npm cache verify --force
to clean your entire cache from your system.
Note:
You can also delete by the following the paths C:\Users\"Your_syste_User_name"\AppData\Roaming\npm
and C:\Users\"Your_syste_User_name"\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache
Then use the following command to install latest angular/cli version globally in your system. npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Solution 3:
Updating Angular CLI
https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#updating-angular-cli
If you're using Angular CLI 1.0.0-beta.28 or less, you need to uninstall angular-cli package first.
npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
Then when it gets done successfully you may try:
ng --version
Solution 4:
This sometime happens when you had actually installed @angular/cli using yarn and not npm.
You can verify this by looking in to yarn's global install folder.
You can remove it from yarn using
yarn global remove @angular/cli
Solution 5:
You are using the beta version of angular CLI you can do this way.
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm uninstall -g angular/cli
Then type,
npm cache clean
Then go to the AppData folder which is hidden in your users and go to roaming folder which is inside AppData then go to npm folder and delete angular files in there and also go to npm-cache folder and delete angular components in there.After that restart your PC and type
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
This worked for me ✌️
