Unable to uninstall typescript globally through npm

I've installed typescript 2.4.1 on my system globally (tsc -v gives me version 2.4.1). I want to uninstall it as I want to go to version 2.3.4 for some of my e2e tests to work. But right now I'm unable to uninstall it. I tried to uninstall through npm

npm uninstall -g tsc

but after running the command when I run

tsc -v 

it again shows me

version  2.4.1.

I've search this problem and found some solutions

uninstalling typescript without node and npm installing old versions of (typescript compiler) package but I've tried all i.e. try to find if in installed programs but could not find it. Then going into

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript

to delete the folder manually but there was version 2.3, not 2.4.1 which its showing in command prompt.

Any help how can I get rid of typescript 2.4.1. ?

Please type:

npm uninstall -g typescript

instead of

npm uninstall -g tsc

That should solve your problem! :)
