Android Studio fails to clean project - android-studio

Android Studio is creating strange files, which cannot be deleted.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.
Unable to delete directory: F:\VWA2\app\build\intermediates\transforms\instantRunSlicer\debug\4\uk\co
These are the files. My question is, why they are even created and how this can be fixed.
Thank you!

Gradle Distribution URL issue in Android Studio

Facing error -"The specified Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip' does not exist." when I'm running android studio normally.
But if I start the android studio as administrator above error is not coming.
I tried deleting the .gradle and .idea file and restarting the android studio, but same error is coming.
So, after trying out lot of solutions on stack nth helped and sort out this problem. Eventually, I had to restore my android studio to default settings. So, that how my problem was resolved.

After Android Studio update. Could not parse POM, Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:_internal_aapt2_binary'

Hello I've been looking to other similar questions about this problem but none has helped me so far, after I updated to android studio to the new version 3.6.2 I have this error when I try to run any project.
Run info:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:_internal_aapt2_binary'.
Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:aapt2:3.6.2-6040484.
Required by:
project :app
Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:aapt2:3.6.2-6040484.
Could not parse POM https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/3.6.2-6040484/aapt2-3.6.2-6040484.pom
Content is not allowed in prolog.
Before the update the project was able to build now none of my projects build.
I tried invalidate cache and restart, I checked that I was not running in offline mode. still have the same failure. Any idea whay this could be and how I could fix it?
if you have problem with gradle
change your android stadio version to 3.6.2 or lower
file>project Strcture>
change to 3.6.2 and OK
I fixed the Error by going to my username and deleting .gradle, .AndroidStudio3.6 and .AndroidStudio3.5 folders. after I restarted android studio to download the folders again and resetting them. It worked.

android studio cannot find the file

my android studio says gradle build finished but does not run tasks because and gives the error
C:\Users\The Lepdungs\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApplication2.gradle\buildOutputCleanup\cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
Try going to Build -> Clean Project.
If that doesn't work then try File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart.
The problem is due to caches that android studio has made, so when it creates new files, there's a problem. One of the above steps should solve it.

Execution failed for app:clean in android studio 2.2

I currently switch to android studio 2.2 and I have a big problem. when I build project to deploy on emulator I got this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.
> Unable to delete directory: /mnt/D/Document/WorkSpace/Android/Test/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/animated-vector-drawable/25.0.0/jars
I clean that path and again it tell me that:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.
> Unable to delete directory: /mnt/D/Document/WorkSpace/Android/Test/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/cardview-v7/25.0.0/jars
I clean it handy and again:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.
> Unable to delete directory: /mnt/D/Document/WorkSpace/Android/Test/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/support-compat/25.0.0/jars/libs
I don't know how many steps exists and if I pass all these steps, may be I mentally!
I don't have these issues in android 1.4. is this a bug about android studio or related to my system(Arch Linux)?
Thanks in advance.
Disable Instant Run. It is in
File -> Settings -> Build,Execution -> Instant Run
This worked for me.
For me there was a stuck debug test inside of Android Studio and mockable-jar was used inside of that JVM and couldn't be deleted.
What I had to do is.. stop the frozen JVM from Task Manager, then clean.
What I'll do the next time this happens is.. stop the frozen debug test from Android Studio, then clean.
i finally fix it!
after:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
add this line of code to build.gradle(Module: app) file:
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
it will delete all jar and lib files from build your directory.
hope to enjoy :)

Android Studio 2 error :app:compileDebugJavaWithJack

This is the complete error from Android Studio 2.1.1. I know this code compiles because on other PC it does, just not on this one which has Windows 10 x64. All other projects fail with similar result.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJack'.
> java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.AssertionError: com.android.jack.library.LibraryIOException: I/O error when accessing file 'I:\Android\KeepVidDownloader\Android\app\build\intermediates\packaged\debug\classes.zip': Failed to delete directory 'C:\Users\BCDIAC~1\AppData\Local\Temp\vfs-1464787788985-0'
For Build -> Clean Project I have used the solution from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/32924320/1958032
I think that there could be a similar solution for running/making the app.
How to solve this?
This issue is a conflict between antivirus and Android Studio.
In my case using Avira, Windows 10 and Android Studio 2.2.
I just disabled Avira for the first build and enabled it again when build was complete.
No need to do this every time- only at the first build.
I had a similar problem and solved it by File->Invalidate Caches and Restart.
