问题
When I was trying to create a new react app using npx create-react-app example_app, I get this error
[Your cache folder contains root-owned files, due to a bug in previous versions of npm which has since been addressed sudo chown -R 0:0 "/root/.npm"]
I even tried to re-install create-react-app again using npm i create-react-app, it is giving the same kind of
error.
I assume after searching about it that it is due to some permissions issue. My current user doesn't have permission to /home/shubham/.npm where shubham is my username, but I am not so sure about this.
I have tried to solve this error using chown command as
sudo chown -R <username>:<groupname> /home/shubham/.npm"
where <username> is Shubham and <groupame> is 1000, but it is still not working.
Request people to help me out. If you need any more information, let me know.

This worked for me:
sudo npm cache clean --force

I had the same issue and several others while trying to update my npm packages. I will be honest I do not have enough knowledge of package handlers or why this fixed my situation, but I believe my version of npm and npx were causing the issues. I had errors immediately trying to install npx, node and create-react-app with my old and out of date version of npm.
I could not run npm install npx -g without --force. Once I did that I also ran npm install npm -g --force. After this I could already tell things were different.
After npm and npx were completely overwritten, I ran npm install node -g and npm install create-react-app -g without any weird problems. I created a new react app and started it error free.
(I also ran the cache command before all of this. sudo npm cache clean --force which I am unsure if it helped).

Try sudo chown -R 1000:1000 "/home/shubham/.npm"

it work for me now!
what id did? (i'm not saying it's the best way to fix this. but that way is working for me. i'm still looking for the best explications for this issue)
sudo rm -Rf /home/[YOUR_USER_NAME]/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/
and run your command again.
My explication is that it seem like something is corrupted in the node_modules's folder. as it's not risky to delete it i did it and it work now.
