Cannot use new command inside angular-cli project

Question

It's quite possible that an angular project was accidentally created inside my home folder in mac osx. So every time I try and create a new project using the angular-cli I receive "You cannot use the new command inside an angular-cli project". I've deleted all associated files with scaffolded project but the error persists. Are there any underlying files that need to be deleted to resolve this error?

Somewhere in a parent directory is a Angular-Cli project or where an ng init was ran. You have do go up your file structure and find the node_modules folder and delete it along with any associated angular-cli generated files (tslint.json, src folder, protractor.conf.js, node_modules folder , README.md, angular-cli.json, e2e folder, karma.conf.js, package.json, .npm/ folder).
