Command not found using npm on a React project

Question

I recently copied used a custom script to copy my build to another project and that's where all hell broke loose.

When I try to run npm start I get this error message:

\node_modules\.bin/../node/bin/node: line 1: This: command not found

Things I've tried: Deleting C:\Users{name}\AppData\Roaming\npm and the npm cache folder I then downloaded npm globally

I also tried deleting my node_modules and package-lock.json and then running npm install.

I've looked into the Path for my files and they seem to be right. . . I'm all out of ideas.

I was also getting a 127 error code but now its just the command not found one.

I've also tried creating a brand new react-app and I'm still getting the same issues, I attached an image of my error message.

Used your repo, did npm i and npm start and it worked for me — Codebling

My problem was I had downloaded Nodejs globally and also in my project, once I removed the dependency from the project things started to work.
