Could not get status from metro bundler

I keep getting the same error message when I run expo start. It keeps saying

Could not get status from Metro bundler. connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:19001 Connecting to Metro bundler failed.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled expo-cli
I've uninstalled and reinstalled node
I've tried expo start -c

Nothing worked

This is the full error message

I have run this project in the past using expo. I don't know why this all started.

So I solved this before posting this question, but I left it here for anyone this might help.

Run npm clean --force, and restart expo. I would also advice to restart your device(s)
