When trying to run an npm command, you can’t install the packages, you may get the error:

Removing package-lock.json looks like an atomic bomb ;-), you can have issues later on ci/cd or other devs envs IMHO. Clearing npm cache should be ok , like @henriquesath said
npm cache clean --forceI like it, making articles that are little like StackOverflow questions/answers
Exactly!
nice
This work temporarily, but it happens everytime I npm install, how do I prevent this from happening every time?
Try "npm cache clean --force"
