Try to delete .npmrc from C:\Users{username}. This worked for me.

I also got this kind of error before and uninstalling and deleting all node related files solved the problem.

1 - Uninstall nodejs from Programs & Features with the uninstaller.

2 - Delete these files:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nodejs

C:\Program Files\Nodejs

C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Roaming\npm

C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache

C:\Users\{User}\.npmrc (and possibly check for that without the . prefix too)

3 - Or you can do this

npm clear cache

then, again check for these files if they are not deleted and delete these files

C:\User\user\appdata\roaming\npm-cache

C:\User\user\appdata\roaming\npm

C:\User\user\appdata\Local\Temp

C:\programefile\nodejs

4 - go to this C:\User{user} and then unhide it if it was hidden and delete .npmrc file and delete all reated file to it(about 4 or 5 files)

5 - if it is uninstalled successfully (you can check with node --version) then reboot your computer

6 - Then, type this command

npm set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

7 - and finally you're good to go

npx create-react-app app_name 
   or 
npm install <package-name>

i had the same problem when i tried to create new react app

solution: just go to this address << C:\Users\omar >> [omar is my user name for you its what your user name is] and at the bottom you would see a file with the name of << .npmrc >> and delete it
