Npm uninstall create-react-app not working

Question

I tried trying to create a new react app with these two commands:

npx create-react-app portfolio 
npm init react-app portfolio

but for both I got this error:

You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app

So I tried these commands to uninstall create-react-app:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm uninstall -g create-react-app --save
sudo npm uninstall -g create-react-app

and for all of them I got this:

up to date, audited 1 package in 2s

found 0 vulnerabilities

And afterwards I tried the same two commands for making a new app and got the same error. what should I do?

You'll need to have Node >= 14.0.0 and npm >= 5.6 on your machine. To create a project, run:

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
