How can I fix ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree for npm install [duplicate]

I am relatively new to angular and self-learning currently. Previously everything was working fine up until I decided to import a lot of new things into my project. To make a small story short I found that I can delete node_modules and run npm install. after deleting it I am getting the below error when I run the npm install.

I'm not sure what the error means, but I think I have different versions because of which dependency error is there I guess. I tried running npm install @angular/cdk@latest and ng update @angular/common but no results. I even found some more solutions like deleting node modules, and package_lock.json but the npm install doesn't work.

I tried to force the npm install but then my project doesn't run because of some other reason, so I was hoping to resolve the error over here itself

Thanks
