What's Wrong?

In claude terminal I wrote: "clear screen" and then it started like clearing screen but showing again the last information, did not accept CTRL-C so I had to restart again the msdos command . when I try to run claude again it showed:
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1228
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\loren\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@anthropic-ai\claude-code\cli.js'

}

Node.js v22.14.0

so I had to reinstall it
npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

What Should Happen?

I was expecting to clear the screen
