android - SyncFailed Error:Cause: org/jetbrains/plugins/gradle/tooling/ModelBuilderService

Question

I have a project which I try to open in Android Studio however when the project is imported I receive an error

Error:Cause: org/jetbrains/plugins/gradle/tooling/ModelBuilderService

I searched on google and found that this is a common issue faced on windows. However all the solutions provided are:

1. Delete .gradle.
2. Invalidate Cache/Restart from File in Android Studio.
3. Delete debug folders and files.

Here's what I've tried in addition to the above list.

4. Reinstalled Android Studio.
5. Deleted Android Studio Settings manually from C:/Users/<username>/.android<> old directories.
6. Deleted %temp% folder.

This project works well in all PCs with Android Studio except this one.

Answer 1

So the problem was solved by deleting the .gradle folder. Unfortunately none of the answers that I referred to described which .gradle folder I was supposed to delete.

What I did was deleted the .gradle folder inside the project structure. What you have to do is delete the .gradle folder located in

Windows:

C:/Users/<username>/.gradle.

MacOS:

~/Users/<username>/.gradle
