Next.js build error 'Invalid declaration: U as UserConfig, P as Plugin' after moving Tailwind CSS files

Libraries, Frameworks, etc. All from Newest questions tagged reactjs - Stack Overflow View Next.js build error 'Invalid declaration: U as UserConfig, P as Plugin' after moving Tailwind CSS files on stackoverflow.com

I was working with:

https://github.com/TailAdmin/tailadmin-free-tailwind-dashboard-template

so a free template with NextJS template. When i download it and run it works just fine. I reorganize the files- just move the files into different folder and refactor. After moving files, i get:

Error: Invalid declaration: `U as UserConfig, P as Plugin`

./app/dashboard/globals.css.webpack[javascript/auto]!=!./node_modules/next/dist/build/webpack/loaders/css-loader/src/index.js??ruleSet[1].rules[13].oneOf[10].use[2]!./node_modules/next/dist/build/webpack/loaders/postcss-loader/src/index.js??ruleSet[1].rules[13].oneOf[10].use[3]!./app/dashboard/globals.css

Error: Invalid declaration: U as UserConfig, P as Plugin at async Promise.all (index 0)

Heres the folder structure:

    Directory: C:\Users\user\Desktop\client-test\dashboard\client

Deleting the cache:

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force .next, node_modules, package-lock.json

Doesnt fix the error.

The error is after moving the files! I didnt change anything in any files. Why i get this error? How to fix it?
