Maybe index.js is not present , check your folder correctly

Just rename your js file to "index.js"

uninstall create-react-app by npm uninstall create-react-app,then reinstall it

I have the same problem but this did not help. I just created a new react project by npx create-react-app 'project-name' and just deleted the files inside src folder. then created a new index.js. instead of deleting the src folder for the purpose of creating the react project from scratch. I hope this will help.
