Can't uninstall or update Ionic

Hi all,

I’m fairly new to Macs. I’m trying to upgrade Ionic, and have exhausted stackoverflow etc.

So I check the version…

ionic -v 
3.9.2

Then I go to update it

sudo npm install @ionic/angular@latest @ionic/angular-toolkit@latest

+ @ionic/angular-toolkit@2.2.0
+ @ionic/angular@5.0.7
added 2 packages from 2 contributors, updated 1 package and audited 1756 packages in 4.41s

Great! Let’s check the version again.

ionic -v
3.9.2

Hmm. It didn’t update. Maybe uninstall it altogether and start again?

sudo npm uninstall -g ionic
up to date in 0.043s

ionic -v
3.9.2

No matter how many combinations of this or suggested ways of uninstalling or upgrading Ionic I found online, it won’t budge from 3.9.2.

My guess is that there’s a Mac issue that I don’t know about? Something I’m not doing right? Or maybe when I installed it I did it in some weird way?

Any ideas how to uninstall it would be GREATLY welcome. I’ve just spent two hours at it so far with no progress.
