Thanks for submitting this issue @MeetRaiyani, looks like your config is missing or is invalid. Can you please find your config based on the info provided here and validate if it's a valid json? (You can attach it here if you need help with validating it.)

If the file is missing, you need to either find the location of your existing .ipfs folder and point to that config or if you don't care about your content, you can try reinstalling and that might fix the issue.

Thanks!
