@sashko thank you for your answers.

I just wanted to add that for me, I did the following.

1. Removed all eslint related dependencies from package.json if they were already included in package-lock.json by react-scripts (for me that was all of them)
2. Deleted my node_modules folder, and package-lock.json file
3. npm install

After completing those steps I finally got that error to go away. I prefer removing the dependencies to downgrading them since this will help avoid the same issue happening again in the future.
