Error When Git Bash Installing React-Scripts "UNKNOWN: unknown error, scandir 'E:\...\node_modules\@babel\.helper-annotate-as-pure.DELETE'"

Question

UNKNOWN: unknown error, scandir 'E:\Sorted\Capstone\WOO-WOO.net\WOO-WOO.net\project\FrontEnd\frontendapp\node_modules\@babel\.helper-annotate-as-pure.DELETE'

I got this error and similar ones when running the commands npm update, npm audit fix, and npm install react-scripts --save in Git Bash.

I tried force cleaning the cache and get other errors when using npm start.

Is E:` a removable drive ? is it connected when you run npm update` ? — LeGEC

@LeGEC Yes E: is a removable drive and I always have it plugged in, I've had some issues with it disconnecting while it's plugged in but I think it was fine while running npm update. — Ryan H

If you're on Windows, run

chkdsk E: /f /x

You probably have corruption in removable drive E, specifically in that folder.

This command repairs errors in the drive, forcing it to unmount first if necessary.
