Question: I'm trying to run:

`npx @contentful/create-contentful-app init contentful-refs`

However this fails and throws the following errors:

You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).
We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

I went ahead and deleted npm, nvm, npx, create-react-app, create-contentful-app.
I checked that they were not on my machine, then I updated to the latest versions of each. and tried running the initial command. I'm still getting the same issue, and now after installing the latest version of create-react-app, create-react-app is still not found on my machine. Not sure what to do here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: 
I too faced this issue, I deleted the \_npx folder and than ran npx create-react-app my-app and the project folder was created.

\_npx path : %\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx
If the issue persists even after uninstalling `create-react-app` globally.

Try

```
npm cache clean -f

```

OR

Delete the `_npx` folder found in:

```
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\npm-cache

```

`create-react-app` seems to work now

```
npx create-react-app foo

```
