How to delete react app & open existing one - reactjs

Question

I am beginner for React-App. I have an existing project folder.
Step I took:
npm install -g create-react app
cd C:\Users\MyFolder\Documents\MyName\CS50\Project\Project1
npm start
**
"This automatically create a folder called "start" inside my Project1 with folders & files below:
node_modules
public
src
.gitignore
package.json
package-lock.json
README.md
**
Actually I already have all the files inside Project1, eg:
.gitignore
assets folder
utils folder
.babelrc
.watchmanconfig
App.js
app.json
package.json
README.md
How can I delete the start folder inside C:\Users\MyFolder\Documents\MyName\CS50\Project\Project1
and I want to open the Project1 folder to work on the assignment given by a course I am attending online. This is my 1st time doing it.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Micheale

Answer 1

That isn't the right way to use create-react-app.
Firstly, run
npm install -g create-react-app
Then go into the directory where you wish to create the project and run
npx create-react-app app-name
Yes, it is npx and not npm. Its not a typo.
Finally,
cd app-name
npm start
This will launch a test server and open it up on chrome.
As far as deleting goes, just navigate to the folder you want to delete with your File Explorer and Delete it.

Create React App
step 1: First you create folder "my-first-app"
step 2: Go to your vsCode and open that folder
step 3: Open terminal on your vscode and create your react app npx create-react-app my-app
step 4: Next cd my-app
step 5: Finally npm start
please don't create a folder inside folder "C:\Users\MyFolder\Documents\MyName\CS50\Project\Project1".It's not a good approach of coding
you don't have a any file use npm remove <place it your removing file>)
Removing a local package from your node_modules directory
Unscoped package. npm remove <package_name>
Scoped package. npm remove <#scope/package_name>
Unscoped package. npm remove --save <package_name>
Scoped package. npm remove --save <#scope/package_name>
Example. npm remove --save lodash

Delete and remove the react-app Files faster in a seconds using
rm -rf <nameOfTheFolder> // or name of the project
This 100% work, upvote it coz otherwise it takes, lot of time to remove using simple delete from the terminal.
