I've just upgraded to Angular 8 beta. Followed this website: https://medium.com/@jeroenouw/upgrade-to-angular-8-beta-within-10-minutes-cd831fb8dd0e

I want to get back into the normal Angular 7.

I've tried to uninstall and install the latest Angular Cli by using these commands:

npm uninstall -g angular/cli

then

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

it says : "+ @angular/cli@7.3.8 added 295 packages from 180 contributors in 10.152s"

but when i do ng v, it still shows that I'm on Angular 8 Beta.

It seems like you have not cleared the cache.

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

If you can tell me the operating system you are using I can help with this one. Generally(Windows):

  1. npm uninstall -g angular-cli npm uninstall -g @angular/cli npm cache clean or npm cache clean --force
  2. goto : C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
  3. Delete angular and @angular directories.
  4. go back to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm\npm-cache and delete the _logs, _locks and _ccache directories.

You are good to go and reinstall a particular cversion of Angular by command.

npm install -g @angular/cli [i.e. version 7.2.4 on 3rd may, 2019]
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest [for latest beta versions]
npm install -g @angular/cli@x.x.x [for your desired version here x=number]

Thanks, Let me know if that solves your problem.
