CorruptedCacheException: Corrupted IndexBlock 298298 found in cache '/Users/macuser/.gradle/caches/journal-1/file-access.bin'

My android projects runs and my app works but I keep getting these errors. Can anyone explain what is happening and how I can solve it?

Solution 1:

I had the same issue on a mac as well.

1. Open your /Users/macuser/ folder
2. Press CMD + SHIFT + . (dot/period) to view hidden folders
3. DELETE .gradle folder
4. Restart Android Studio

This will cause Android Studio to rebuild and re-download your .gradle folder fixing your corrupt files in the process.

NOTE* I'm looking for experienced programmers to let us know if this is safe / correct to do so! It worked for me with no errors but i'm new to this so a second opinion would be appreciated.

Solution 2:

Best and Easiest Way is

1. Click on android studio menu button "File"
2. Click on "Invalidate Cache and Restart" Button
3. A popup box will open and click on "Invalidate and Restart"
4. Android Studio Invalidate Caches and Restart Again
5. Boom Your Problem is Solved.
