react-native-collapsible-tab-header | native components to ease implementation

everyone. I'm new to React Native, so bear with me. Working with VSCode.

I wanted to add a library to try out to my project, but it was only accessible via yarn (I hadn't used it beforehand). So I installed it via chocolatey and everything was OK. However, after trying to run the project an error appeared -- "Ambiguous resolution: module tries to require 'react-native', but there are several files providing this module."

So I tried clearing yarn, npm, node_modules, the vscode react native tools, uninstalling the app, re-cloning the source from git, removing the package manually, but nothing works.

One thing that did work is npm start --clear-cache when done via the terminal in vscode (found here). However, this requires additional command to write and is tedious. How can I purge whatever cache there is left and continue debugging as I have before?

If you need more info, tell me.

Edit: It seems it is related to the folder the project resides in. I cloned the repo in a differently named folder and it works. I'll add this as an answer/workaround in a couple of days if nobody gives an actual resolution.
