I downloaded Ionic 3 few days ago and everything worked just fine when all of the sudden yesterday this error showed up after every ionic command I tried to use inside and outside my project dir (ionic info, ionic serve, ionic start etc.):
{ Error at FatalException.Exception (C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\node_modules@ionic\cli-utils\dist\lib\errors.js:8:23) at FatalException (C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\node_modules@ionic\cli-utils\dist\lib\errors.js:17:9) at Config.

I have tried to delete ionic and cordova and reinstall many times using many different instructions I found online:
I made sure they were really installed and uninstalled via npm -g list --depth=0
I’ve also tried to delete and reinstall node (following this instructions) but this error stay with every version of ionic 3.X I tried.
ionic 2 on the other hand work great. any Idea what might have caused that and how to fix it?
I’m using:
Windows 10
npm : 4.6.1
node: v6.10.3
cordova: 7.0.1
version of ionic 3 I tried:
3.0.0
3.1.0
3.1.1
3.1.2
3.2.0
Are you talking about the Ionic CLI that you install via npm (npm install -g ionic) or the framework inside the app?
Post your npm list -g --depth=0 please.
when I type ionic without anything else same error as above appear
when I type cordova without anything else it work as usual :

Hm, so something is really broken with your ionic install. Can you uninstall again and make sure via npm -g list --depth=0 that it is really uninstalled?
Then show us the output of npm install -g ionic --verbose. Something has to go wrong there.
Next step: I see you are on windows. Unnstall npm and node and install nvm-windows. Use it to reinstall node and then try the command above again. This solves some rights stuff and makes node a lot more friendly on Windows.
I managed to fix it ! There is a folder that don’t removed when uninstall under c:/users/{user}/.ionic , in there there is a config json file and in my case it was empty so I deleted the folder than reinstalled ionic and it worked !
