Cannot create new project via ng cli using "ng new" command

Question

Actually I've used angular in windows and I didn't faced this problem after updated to ng 4. But when i'm trying this to ubuntu after updating to ng 4, I'm facing this issue while trying to create a new app using ng new command. See the below image. enter image description here

The trick is to read the error message: You cannot use ng new inside an angular CLI project. It's very clear. You're already inside an angular CLI projet, and you're trying to create a project inside that project. Don't do that, as the message says. — JB Nizet

It seems like you have an npm project (a package.json file) within your desktop folder or in the path above. Either delete or move that project or put your new project in a different directory. see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/2818#issuecomment-257964822

Nope, I cannot create on other folders too: imgur.com/Km8VxZW :( Edit - 1: Let me search for any.

It goes all the way up. So if you try ng new project within ~/dir1/dir2 and you have a package.json in dir1, it will still fail. In your console, run pwd and check all directories

Yep, ng new command works on other drives. I'm trying the way metioned on the github source. Thanks BTW.
