'Trying to upgrade TypeScript but old version still not uninstalling / being replaced

I am trying to upgrade TypeScript from 3.4.5 to 4.5.4 having migrated a NativeScript project from version 6.5.0 to 8.1.5.

Ideally to completely remove the old TypeScript 3.4.5 but it still seems to be there. I have checked the other similar queries like this one but have not been able to get rid of it. I do not have Visual Studio installed.

Am using nvm and am currently on node 16.10.0 and npm 7.24.0

My package.json has "typescript": "^4.5.4", in the dependencies. Here is the whole package.json.

  },

}

I have tried many things like

npm uninstall -g typescript
npm install -g typescript
ns clean
npm install

And I still get

$ tsc -v
Version 3.4.5

I cannot see where it is pulling it from.

ng --version gives:

Angular CLI: 13.2.2
Node: 16.10.0
Package Manager: npm 7.24.0
OS: win32 x64

Angular: 13.1.3
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic, router

Package                         Version
---------------------------------------------------------
@angular-devkit/architect       0.1301.4
@angular-devkit/build-angular   13.1.4

@ngtools/webpack                13.1.4
@schematics/angular             13.2.2 (cli-only)
rxjs                            7.4.0
typescript                      4.5.4

I also tried deleting node_modules, hooks and platforms and reinstalling but tsc still gives v3.4.5.

Can you see what version I am on?

======== UPDATE

I did it (in Windows) by deleting the

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\typescript

folder and replacing it with the

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\typescript

folder.

I think when running

npm i -g typescript NVM was saving it to

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules

and

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v16.10.0\node_modules

but not

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
