Try to update via these steps found in the npm repo for the angular cli.

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g angular-cli@latest

There is also an angular cli migration guide. One other option (more involved) is to start a new project and migrate over by copying and pasting certain files. This can be found here in the "moving into the cli" section of the angular-cli github

You are using the beta version of angular CLI you can do this way   npm uninstall -g  angular cli npm uninstall -g angular cli   Then type   npm cache clean   Then go to the AppData folder which is hidden in your users and go to roaming folder which is inside AppData then go to npm folder and delete angular files in there and also go to npm-cache folder and delete angular components in there After that restart your PC and type  npm install -g  angular cli latest   This worked for me

This sometime happens when you had actually installed  angular cli using yarn and not npm   You can verify this by looking in to yarn s global install folder   You can remove it from yarn using  yarn global remove  angular cli

You have to use  without     npm uninstall -g angular cli   because     If you re using Angular CLI beta 28 or less  you need to uninstall angular-cli package  It should be done due to changing of package s name and scope from angular-cli to  angular cli https   github com angular angular-cli

I could not get the angular-cli to go away  I FINALLY figured out a way to find it on my windows machine  If you have Cygwin installed or you are running linux or mac you can run which ng and it will give you the directory the command is running from  In my case it was running from  c Users myuser AppData Roaming npm ng

User · Answer

For those using Windows  I had this issue because     after running npm uninstall -g   angular cli  the folder AppData Roaming npm were still containing a ng file this file prevented a complete uninstall of the CLI   I tried then to remove the ng file manually  but for some reasons it was not possible  I did not have the right   even as admin   The only hack I found was using a  linux based  command  I used Git bash  as admin and removing this file from command line   cd AppData Roaming npm rm ng cmd  For information  this was with the version 6 of the CLI  There is not problem anymore to remove manually this specific file after the update
