I'm in the middle of making a website, and I use the command npm start to put it up on localhost. However, all of a sudden it stopped working after I had created two workspaces on Visual Studio Code Editor. It only gives me an error.
This is what the error looks like:
npm ERR! path C:\Users\audre\first-blog\package.json
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\audre\first-blog\package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! C:\Users\audre\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2018-05-29T07_42_13_915Z-debug.log
I have no idea what that means. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
Edit: My package.json file contains the following:

}When all else fails, remove/reinstall node.js completely. When you get wild errors all over the board on all of your node env commands, it means node is corrupted or wrong in some way.
