Reactjs – NextJS – ReferenceError: Request is not defined | Reading old version of Node [solved]

When I run npm run dev in my nextjs project I get the following error:

.../node_modules/next/dist/server/web/spec-extension/request.js:28
class NextRequest extends Request {
                          ^

Node.js v17.4.0

When I run node -v I get:

v20.9.0

I have already uninstalled node from my machine and reinstalled it using nvm.

From what I understood nextjs and the packages I have installed are complaining because I am not using the required node version. However since in my terminal when I run node -v I get that I am using v20.9 I’m not sure why else Nextjs isn’t detecting the correct node version

Anyone know how I can solve this?
