What is the reason for the error when working with Bower?

Question

Node.js

Good day!
The other day I reinstalled Windows 10. Now I reinstall everything I need to work. Installed Node.js, npm, git. Here it came to bower, the installation was successful:

C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov\AppData\Roaming\npm\bower -> C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bower\bin\bower
[email protected] C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bower

I run any command bower gives an error:

PS C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov> bower -v
C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bower\lib\node_modules\mkdirp\index.js:89
                    throw err0;
                    ^

Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov\.config\configstore'

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)

Please tell me what is the problem?

Error: EEXIST: Файл уже существует, mkdir 'C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov\.config\configstore'

Try uninstalling C:\Users\AntoxaVolkov\.config\configstoreand reinstalling bower.
