react-scripts start error (Cannot find module '../scripts/start') - how can i fix this?

I'm getting 'Error: Cannot find module '../scripts/start' from projects set up using create-react-app that previously worked fine, now when i run 'npm start' i'm getting this error - the only workaround seems to be rm -rf node_modules followed by npm install, but next day I run into the same problem. Any ideas how to fix this please (see full error message below) - thanks.

>react-scripts start

module.js:549
    throw err;

I changed my computer and I clone my projet from Github

  1. Delete node_modules folder

  2. Run npm install

I had the exact same issue and I did the following:

  1. Delete node_modules folder

  2. Run npm install

It fixed my issue, but what it caused, I don't know.
