So whenever i use
npx create-react-app my-app
it generates outside the folder "my-app" a lot of others folders such as _locks, _npx, _cacache and a json file named anonymous-cli-metrics.
I tried changing the cache location, but I couldn't do it, I want to use the command without creating these files does anyone know how to solve it?
I've also had this same problem. You should install your nodejs on your c:/ directory. Uninstall nodejs and remove cache files and remove the PATH variable and reinstall it in your C:/ directory. Another possible problem is with chocolatey, if you've installed along with nodejs you should remove that also and do a fresh install on your root directory Or try setting yout npm cache to,
npm config set cache C:\cache
