How do I delete hardhat:core:config so I can create a new sample project

Question

I’ve been trying for hours, it won’t give me the options to create a sample project when I type “npx hardhat”

I’ve tried 1. “Mkdir hello-smart”

1. “Cd hello-smart”

2. “Npm init”

3. “Npm install hardhat”

4. “Npx hardhat”

And also tried

npm init -y
npm install -D hardhat
npx hardhat

Answer 1

after you installed hardhat (npm i hardhat)

hardhat init
