Solved — Error While Creating new React app(You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0))
Are you getting this error again and again even after doing the uninstall part ? (npm uninstall -g create-react-app)

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
The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/
To fix this do the following
npx clear-npx-cache
create-react-app your-app
3. (Optional) Clear the central cache for npx:
Mac OS
rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx
Windows
%LocalAppData%/npm-cache/_npx
4. Try to force the latest version with:
npx create-react-app@latest my-app --use-npm
