How about just to be sure remove package-lock.json and delete node_modules folder with rm -rf node_modules?

And after that npm install again.

Good luck.

It looks like npm cache was corrupted ,but as npm cache clean --force did not work,deleting _cacache directory in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache solved my problem.After that npm install worked just fine.
