Cannot find module '#babel/preset-es2015' from 'C:\repos\ondemandProject\ondemnd-web' - reactjs

Question

I am using babel and Webpack first time to build a react app. Since morning I am trying, uninstalled and reinstalled packages many many times but babel gives one or other error when try to start server
I may have read all related questions on this platform but couldn't find solution that works.
This is how my webpack.config.js looks like:
var path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin')
module.exports = {
entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/index.js') ,
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'bundle.js',
publicPath: '/src/'
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: __dirname + '/public/index.html',
filename: 'index.html',
inject: 'body'
}), // Generates default index.html
// new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ // Also generate a test.html
// filename: 'test.html',
// template: 'src/assets/test.html'
// })
],
devServer: {
contentBase: "./public",
hot: true
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /.js$/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
presets: ['#babel/react', '#babel/es2015'],
plugins: ['#babel/proposal-class-properties']
}
}
]
}
};

babel-error
In node_modules also, no matter how many times I try to reinstall preet-es2015, I don't see the package. Plus, in the document https://babeljs.io/docs/en/v7-migration it states that The "env" preset has been out for more than a year now, and completely replaces some of the presets we've had and suggested earlier.
babel-preset-es2015
babel-preset-es2016
babel-preset-es2017
babel-preset-latest
A combination of the above ^
These presets should be substituted with the "env" preset.
#babel/preset-es2015
Not sure how to solve this problem

Answer 1

If anyone else is running into this issue, this can be fixed by uninstalling #babel/preset-es2015 completely. This is replaced by #babel/preset-env
