Yarn keeps telling me to rename folder

Yesterday, yarn worked just fine, but today yarn absolutely refuses to work. Running any kind of yarn command fails.

Internal Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Users\NAME\.node\corepack\corepack-4304-ea1e7c84.0eb04' -> 'C:\Users\NAME\.node\corepack\yarn\3.1.1'

I tried following the instructions.

I also noticed that the referenced .node folder was read-only. This is weird because every time I try to use yarn, the corepack-RANDOMSTRING is a new folder.

Removing read-only from the folder and checking if it has been removed says it is read only again.

yarnpkg node.js

  1. Make sure you are running the CMD prompt as Administrator

  2. Then install Yarn npm install --global yarn

  3. Verify that Yarn installed correctly yarn --version It should print the version number.

If that doesn't work try adding the --force flag as @sfuqua mentions in the comments so npm install --global yarn --force

Note: Reading through this article https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/992 It looks like there are many reasons why this could occur.
