Answer 1

Remove all cache in this file C:\Users{user}.nuget\packages And update xamarin.forms

Answer 2

I just started with Xamarin in Windows as well and am having this problem. A quick fix I found it to switch from Debug over to Release; but this disables your debug output. Closing and reopening Xamarin has also relieved the issue for a few more debug builds.

I have found no rhyme or reason why this is occurring, seems to be at random.

Answer 3

Check the read-only property of the dll on that path, make sure it is not checked. I had the same issue, After unchecking the read-only property, the issue resolved.
