I'm creating a web application using Angular and TypeScript.

I would like to use Angular to latest version. What is the command to update it to the latest version?

Also kindly let me know how to change version from latest to old versions.

Try like this :
ng --version
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g @angular/[email protected] // the version you want
ng --version

npm cache clear --force

For verifying, you can run the following command to check the contents of the cache folder, garbage collecting any unneeded data, and verify the integrity of the cache index and all cached data.
```
npm cache verify
```

Angular leaves some residual even after uninstalling, to remove it completely, we use cache clean with force switch.

Thank you!

What is that cache clean for?
