Broken Vue CLI installation npm-CodePudding

after trying to update vue cli to its latest version using npm update, now everytime I run vue it throws the following error:

vue create
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'strip-ansi'

    '/usr/lib/node_modules/@vue/cli/bin/vue.js'
  ]
}

Node.js v17.3.0

If I try to uninstall the package, I also get an error:

sudo npm uninstall -g @vue/cli
npm ERR! code ENOTEMPTY
npm ERR! syscall rename
npm ERR! path /usr/lib/node_modules/@vue/cli
npm ERR! dest /usr/lib/node_modules/@vue/.cli-kgOlUxFE

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /root/.npm/_logs/2022-02-17T17_58_23_457Z-debug-0.log

I don't know what to do, I need vue cli working

Thanks in advance

You can try to remove the node_modules folder and install all dependencies again with npm install.

Removing the node_modules folder broke my npm installation completely. Don't do it. I had to reinstall nodejs to make it work again.
