I am trying to run simple component generate command which is throwing error like this:
command:
sudo ng generate component forgot-pass
Error Msg:
Path "/src/app/forgot-pass/forgot-pass.component.css" already exist.
I am clueless about this error, my application is building properly and when check there is not a single folder or file like this.
If I put anything istead of forgot-pass, it throws the same error.
FYI, here is the version my cli is using:
_ _ ____ _ ___
/ \ _ __ __ _ _ _| | __ _ _ __ / ___| | |_ _|

This seems to be a known issue with that version of angular cli due to some files were created twice. probably what you can do is to create a new app.
You can resolve this by updating your angular cli version sudo npm update @angular/cli latest
