Why do Node modules go into .staging folder?

I was also facing the same issue, I tried the steps below:

1. Delete package-lock.json
2. Delete Node Modules folder

3. Try installing it using below command (should be in open network)

   npm install
   

Note: – “.staging” means, those dependencies are getting downloaded so for the temporary basis it keeps all those dependencies under “.staging” folder. Once all gets downloaded properly then it will showcase them under node_modules only.

I hope this will work.
