npm - EPERM: operation not permitted on Windows : <p>I ran </p>

<pre><code>npm config set prefix /usr/local
</code></pre>

<p>After running that command,
When trying to run any npm commands on Windows OS I keep getting the below. </p>

<pre><code>Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\local'
at Error (native)
</code></pre>

<p>Have deleted all files from </p>

<pre><code>C:\Users\&lt;your username&gt;\.config\configstore\
</code></pre>

<p>It did not work.</p>

<p>Any suggestion ?</p>
