Answer 1

The quickest and more accurate approach to this problem is to remove from your project's .gradle/<version>/buildOutputCleanup folder the file cache.properties.lock This will do the trick. After that, just rebuild or sync your project.

Answer 2

Go to the folder indicated in the error message. Delete the cache.properties.lock file.

Answer 3

I download gradle and changed path of gradle from C drive to D drive and fixed it

Reinstall Android Studio again is not an option!

To fix the problem:

go to :

 C:\Users\[User]\.gradle\caches\

Delete folders \2.4 and \2.8

Restart Android Studio!.

Answer 5

You don't have to reinstall Android Studio or no need to delete all .gradle folder.

I am reinstalled the latest version of Android Studio and still I faced that problem. It caused my to rename the "Android Projects" folder on my desktop in my case.

The only thing that you have to do:

1-Navigate to C:\Users\user_name.gradle\caches\2.4 or (2.8 if error in it otherwise)

2-Copy the folder "2.4" or "2.8" and paste it somewhere safe just in case anything went wrong you will place it back

3-Delete this error folder from the directory C:\Users\user.gradle\caches\2.4\ (or \2.8)

4-Close the Android studio & restart it.

During restart it sync your project & Android Studio will generate new cache files.

It worked for me I hope it will work for you... :)

Answer 6

I found the solution to my question, but I do not know whether it is the optimal solution:

I deleted all .gradle folders in user library and reinstalled android and then it worked.
