After searching and combining answers, 2018 version of this question and it worked for me:

1) On navigation tab change it to project view

2) Navigate to [YourProjectName]/.idea/libraries/

3) Delete all files starting with Gradle__com_android_support_[libraryName]

E.g: Gradle__com_android_support_animated_vector_drawable_26_0_0.xml

4) In your gradle file define a variable and use it to replace version number like ${variableName}

Def variable:

ext {
    support_library_version = '28.0.0' //use the version of choice
}

Use variable:

implementation "com.android.support:cardview-v7:${support_library_version}"

example gradle:

dependencies {
    ext {
        support_library_version = '28.0.0' //use the version of choice
    }

    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

    implementation "com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:customtabs:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:cardview-v7:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-compat:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-core-utils:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-core-ui:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-fragment:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-media-compat:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:${support_library_version}"
    implementation "com.android.support:design:${support_library_version}"

}
