Hi Urich,

Greetings to you!

First, delete all the references to the CLI  and install it again.

Delete all the references to the CLI with the following commands: 
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/sfdx
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/sfdx
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/sfdx
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/sfdx ~/.config/sfdx ~/.cache/sfdx
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/sfdx

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_uninstall.htm

And then install it again:
https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/sfdxcli

I hope it helps you.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future. It will help to keep this community clean.

Thanks and Regards,
Khan Anas

Hi Urich, Try installing all SFDX things in another folder instead of standard root. 

Sample format: C:\Salesforce\Urich

Let us know if this works well.
