"Cannot find module 'discord.js'" error

This is my code (minus my token):

This code worked completely fine about an hour ago, then suddenly it didn’t. I started randomly getting this error:

"
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe .\index.js
Process exited with code 1
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module ‘Discord.js’
"

I have tried the following:
-Uninstalling discord.js, then reinstalling it.
-Checking to see if the ‘Discord’ should be capitalised or not.
-Changing the version on the ‘version’ of my package.json.
-Completely rewriting my code from scratch in a new file.
-Reducing the code to just that first line of code.
(Edit: I also tried running Visual Studio Code in administrator mode and I tried tweaking the code such that I provided an exact file location instead of just ‘discord.js’. Again, neither of these worked.)

None of these have worked. I am basically brand new to coding (hence the very simple code) and just fancied messing around with it, but I have genuinely no idea what caused my issue or how to fix it as I have checked everything I can think of.

Any ideas ?

oh wait i didnt saw you downloaded discord.js , can you please paste here your logs? (if there is more of error)

Was it Discord.js or discord.js in the error message?

Note that the official package is discord.js. This error can generally be fixed by running npm i discord.js in the project’s terminal.

There aren 't any further error messages unfortunately :confused:

I’ve had error messages with both, although I am aware that the lowercase name is the correct one

Tried this but no luck :frowning:

So in raw defiance to this useless community, I now have a working bot, although admittedly I just found a guide that worked (previous ones didn’t, I still don’t know why), then copied their code.
The guide can be found here:

Maybe installing ‘discord.io’ directly into the same folder as the code might have been the fix ? Although I’m not sure why that would be it if fiddling with the directory didn’t work ?

Either way, I hope this helps anyone with the same issue !
