I found the error I have gone through this.

Step one:
press windows + R

Step two:
Type- %AppData%, then go to Roaming inside it you will find NPM file delete it if you have NPM cache delete it also now.

Step three:
If you have already deleted nodejs and re installed it then no problem or better delete nodejs and reinstall

Step four:
Type- npm install -g npm@latest

It will work 100%

I had a similar issue and I solved it with the following steps:

• I uninstalled node.js
• I opened " C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\npm"
• I deleted the whole 'npm' folder
• Reinstalled node.js

After this when entering "npm -v" in the cmd no error was raised

Hope I helped
