Error when running 'ionic capacitor build android' and npm install

Question

I deleted the bin folder in the node_modules folder to try fix some errors I was having.

Then when I run sudo npm install I get his following error:

npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall rename
npm ERR! path /mnt/c/Users/aks/Documents/GitHub/mpl/node_modules/typescript
npm ERR! dest /mnt/c/Users/aks/Documents/GitHub/mpl/node_modules/.typescript-4Gn4pDgu
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, rename '/mnt/c/Users/aks/Documents/GitHub/mpl/node_modules/typescript' -> '/mnt/c/Users/aks/Documents/GitHub/mpl/node_modules/.typescript-4Gn4pDgu'

and also when I try to run ionic capacitor build android I get this following error:

I am wondering what I can do to solve this, I am running these commands on WSL

Thanks

The following might help you resolve the issue:

• Implying the command with sudo to override any access issues. So sudo npm install
• Run ionic cap sync and then ionic cap build android
