I'm using macOS. I had a few versions of yarn installed with Homebrew, which I uninstalled with brew uninstall --force yarn. I then installed the latest version 1.7.0 of Yarn using Homebrew brew install yarn

But still when I ran which yarn, it returned /Users/Me/.yarn/bin/yarn, and yarn --version returned 0.24.6. There was no mention of Yarn in ~/.bash_profile, but my ~/.bashrc file contained the line export PATH="$HOME/.yarn/bin:$PATH" indicating that I must have previously installed Yarn globally, but I only wanted to use the latest version that I just installed with Homebrew.

So I uninstalled Yarn globally by running npm uninstall -g yarn; rm -rf ~/.yarn, then editing the file ~/.bashrc by changing the line to export PATH="/usr/local/bin/yarn:$PATH" and running source ~/.bashrc to update the PATH in the terminal session. Then when I ran which yarn it returned /usr/local/bin/yarn, and when I ran yarn --version it returned 1.7.0
