I'm trying to upgrade to 10 on a mac
How do I find and delete an old version?

I tried these two steps, but version 8.00 is still there

Step 1 :

sudo npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

Step 2 :

sudo npm cache clean --force

Here I got

preferred-user:~ puser$ sudo npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
Password:
up to date in 0.058s
preferred-user:~ puser$ sudo npm cache clean --force
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.
preferred-user:~ puser$ ng version

    Does this answer your question? [Cannot uninstall angular-cli](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43070441/cannot-uninstall-angular-cli) – Roy Jun 28 '20 at 15:46

you can install nvm (node version manager), through this you can install multiple nodejs versions and can install latest version of angular-cli.

    It's a secondary solution if angular-cli is not uninstalling. You can also remove nodejs but you can lose data – Usman Ali Jun 28 '20 at 16:51
  • It seems to be something to do with homebrew that was installed on this machine Once I uninstalled that and reinstalled node the CLI install is working as expected – Mathias Jun 28 '20 at 17:32

Uninstalled homebrew and reinstalled node the CLI install is working as expected
Homebrew had the old version of Angular in it's /cellar folder
