CRA decrepated

[TheArcher2002]

I used the command ' npx create-react-app appname' and it installed react but afterwards when I closed VS code and went to file explorer to view the folder it started to crash. I could not even right click on the folder, I started getting the message ' Folder is not responding' finally I managed to uninstall it, its size was 218MB. Is this normal? I deleted the folder shortly afterwards. Should I be worried? I ran a full scan using windows defender it did not show at threats. Is this just because of CRA decrepated?

The behavior you described—folder not responding—is uncommon and likely related to your local setup.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Update System and Software

   • Ensure that your operating system and Visual Studio Code are up-to-date. This can fix a variety of issues.

2. Disk Health

   • Run a disk check to ensure there aren't any issues with your hard drive.
   • Windows: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run chkdsk.
   • macOS: Use Disk Utility to run a disk check.

3. Try a Different Directory

   • Attempt to create a new React app in a different directory to see if the issue persists.

     npx create-react-app new-app-name
