hardhat-config and package.json files are not being added to the project folder even after adding hardhat

[Jaseempk]

The issue that I'm facing is that even after installing hardhat and selecting the "create new javascript folder" option after running "yarn hardhat", I'm not able to find the hardhat.config file in my project folder, also package.json is not added to the project folder.
I had uninstalled everything and re-installed everything from scratch, but even after reinstalling VSCode and WSL, still I'm running into this error, does anyone have got into the same issue or know how to fix this?
Please look into this

@Jaseempk run this command npx hardhat --verbose it will tell you the location of your hardhat.config.js file, maybe you are standing on wrong location in terminal.

@Jaseempk You first need to remove that hardhat.config.js file that you found and then rerun the command for creating a project or you can manually do all of the things, you just need to copy the hardhat.config.js and package.json file from the repo and create other files.

I found out the problem, it was just that I had already installed hardhat globally instead of doing it locally, so I deleted it globally and reinstalled it locally and now it works. Thank you all for reaching out

How did you deleted hardhat globally?

@RashInTech I removed hardhat using the following command:
npm uninstall -g hardhat
