Cannot find module `...@nuxt/devtools`

Hi there. I just installed a fresh new project with nuxi init. I wanted to npm i, but it returns the following error:

The problem is, I do not even have installed node 16. I only have node 18.16.1. So why does nuxt require a path with a node version I don't have installed? I used node 16 before, but this was a long time ago. I tried to remove and reinstall nvm, node, pnpm from my system, but that didn't help.

Just tried it out with other older nuxt projects I have. Same issue. So it seems to be that somewhere in my system, this old node 16 is still there and somehow @nuxt/devtools is being tried to load from there. Maybe someone knows how to resolve this 😄 thanks in advance!
