Moving to create-react-app ver 5.0.0

I hate it when someone changes the ways things have been done, and then does not give enough information to move to the new way :(. Create React App has just done this with the upgrade to version 5.0.0
If you try create-react-app with an older version 4 installation you get the very helpful message:
You are runningcreate-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).
We no longer support global installation of Create React App.
Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
  • npm uninstall -g create-react-app yarn ...`
  • So I naturally went ahead and did the uninstall :(
    `npm uninstall -g create-react-app
    up to date, audited 1 package in 488ms
    found 0 vulnerabilities`
    It didn't uninstall the old version, it just did an audit instead. (I assume there are dependencies installed on the version 4 library.
    I tried to reinstall create-react-app and flushing the cache - both with and without the -force option. I could not get a new project created.
    Finally I had to force install the latest version
    `npm install create-react-app@latest
    npm WARN deprecated tar@2.2.2: This version of tar is no longer supported, and will not receive security updates. Please upgrade asap.
    added 67 packages, and audited 70 packages in 9s
    4 packages are looking for funding
    run npm fund for details
    3 high severity vulnerabilities
    To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
    npm audit fix --force
    Run npm audit for details.`
    And finally I could successfully do a create-react-app.
    PS. Yes, I did do a fix on the vulnerabilities.
