How to Fix: Step 1: Open the Terminal in Android Studio (or use Command Prompt). Step 2: Navigate to the Gradle directory: cd C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.gradle\ Step 3: Remove the corrupted caches folder: bash rm -r caches\ On Windows, if using Command Prompt instead of terminal, use: c rmdir /s /q caches Step 4: Go back to Android Studio and click Build > Clean Project or Rebuild Project .
