Summary
I would like to know how to kill every single gradle daemon and process running on a machine regardless of the version of gradle or the vers
The gradle daemons did not disappear after 3hrs; this could be since I am running as Linux Guest in VirtualBox.
And hence, the following removes all gradle daemons but it could be "frowned upon" since it might be excessive...
(1) ./gradlew --stop to ensure all daemons are stopped
(2) delete all folders/files in .gradle folder in the project
(3) delete .gradle folder in /home/username/ Linu (4) reboot
All daemons are gone. The next build takes a bit longer but worthwhile as do not like seeing 6 stopped daemons everytime a gradle build or even clean is started.
