npm ERR! Refusing to delete / code EEXIST

This was how I solved mine after 'googling' around...

• Navigate to the directory your node was installed in
• rename your npm.cmd and npm files
• Try run the installation again
• If successful..delete the files you renamed earlier npm and npm.cmd
• if not, :( :(

The cli commands here...in case you don't want to be renaming and stuffs

cd %ProgramFiles%
odejs
ren npm.cmd npm2.cmd
ren npm npm2 
npm2 install npm@latest -g

---

del npm2
del npm2.cmd
