salesforce cli not working

I have installed salesforce cli but when I am trying to execute any sfdx command. it is giving me error: 
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '../dist/versions'

i am not able to use sfdx/vscode because of this blocker. 

I tried reinstalling salesforce cli, updating nodejs, resintalling vscode. Nothing worked.

Please let me know if anybody has any solution to this.

Hi Swetha

Thanks for the response.

I have tried deleting client directory. It worked fine after that, however the cli has started giving warning about the outdated cli version 6.44. And if I update the version to latest i.e 7.63 it stops working and throws same error. 

It seems the issue is with the 7.63 cli release.

Thanks for confirming that deleting the client directory fixed the issue, Sunny.Can you clarify from when are you seeing this error ?Are you now using 6.44 which is currently working version of CLI?

By default, the CLI periodically checks for and installs updates. Until a fix for the current version has been rolled out, you could disable auto-update, by setting the SFDX_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLE environment variable in your OS to true.
