I have done the following so far and still no result

Deleted node_modules and package-lock.json file
npm cache clean --force
npm install --force
Delete node and npm and installed again.
Reboot the system
Check permissions
Turn off firewall
Run cmd as administrator

Node version: 10.23.0 NPM Version: 6.14.8

Any help will be appreciated.

I would try running it on another drive/partition. In the past regardless of my permission set sometimes Windows likes to restrict certain operations such as file name changes even if it's supposed to be allowed in a certain folder. If that doesn't work then try on another computer to see if the problem is related with the system environment or not.

Deleting my node_modules and reinstalling all my used packages helped me fix this error.
