Answer 2

Or you can type a command in terminal as

1.killall Finder and then type,

2.defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true it shows hidden .android folder

Open .android folder and delete .android/avd/Nexus_5X_API_26.avd/*.lock file and now you run emulator it works fine.

Answer 3

You can also solve this problem by doing "Invalidate chaches/ restart".

Answer 4

For me, "delete .lock file" & "stop emulator then start" & "delete emulator then recreate" does't work.

but,delete "C/User/yourName/.android" folder can fix this problem

Answer 5

In your Android Studio go to Tools->Android->AVD Manager. It will list your virtual devices. Click the Action column corresponding to your virtual device. It will list many actions. Click on Stop. This will shutdown your android studio. Now start android studio. Your virtual device should work fine.

Find and open the pid folder within your *.lock folder. Inside should be a number.

Kill pid:

taskkill /F /PID pid_number
