Cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
I just started using Android Studio 1.3 sdk 24 and it has worked fine until today. I get this error message about cache.properties and I delete that cache file but now I am getting this error message:
Error:C:\Users\user1.gradle\caches\2.4\scripts\asLocalRepo15_dhjxrnvsgiyg1ow3dfj4myl7\InitScript\initscript\cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
I try file/invalidate caches/restart.. and rebuild project but am still getting this error message. How do I fix it?
You don't have to delete all .gradle
folders and no need to reinstall Android Studio.
I have the latest version of Android Studio and I faced that problem, the only thing that worked for me is to:
Navigate to
C:\Users\user\.gradle\caches\2.x\
Copy the folder scripts , scripts-remapped and paste it somewhere safe just in case anything went wrong you will place it back
Delete this folder scripts and scripts-remapped from the directory
C:\Users\user\.gradle\caches\2.x\
Sync Project with Gradle Files and you are done.
When you sync your project Android Studio will generate new cache files.
You also need to delete buildOutputCleanup.lock from projectLocation/.gradle/buildOutputCleanup in case the above 4 steps do not work out.
It worked for me I hope it will work for you.
Reinstall Android Studio again is not an option!
To fix the problem:
cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
go to :
C:\Users\[User]\.gradle\caches\
Delete folders \2.4
and \2.8
Restart Android Studio
!.
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... :)
I have the same problem, I just delete .gradle
from C:\Users\user\.gradle\caches\2.4\
and from my application too.
Of course close Android Studio and start Android Studio again.
No need to reinstall anything.
Just delete the 2.4
and 2.8
folder located at C:\Users\user\.gradle\caches
directory and reopen android studio. It will generate new cash files so now the build should be successful.
