Run the command with --force:
npm cache clean --force
Based on npm documentation:
it should never be necessary to clear the cache for any reason other than reclaiming disk space, thus why clean now requires --force to run.

Try deleting your node_modules folder inside your project, and then run npm install again.

2I was having problem with `npm cache clean` deleting `node_modules` and running with `--force` (as suggested by @A-Sharabiani) works for me. – smtaha512 Mar 10 '19 at 14:44

I thinks It is not correct way for resolve this problem. I thinks correct way it is use this command "npm cache clean --force" – Ramil Aliyev 007 Jul 16 '20 at 12:22

npm cache clean --force didn't work for me. Removing node_modules folder worked for me – Hadayat Niazi Jun 14 '22 at 11:17

Run the same command and just add --force or -f with it.
npm cache clean --force or npm cache clean -f
This error shows because you are accessing project on client terminal. please open terminal in administration mode and hit npm cache clean command.
