So, I am getting the following error while running the project after upgrading build.gradle (Project) from

Answer 1

For some reasons, @ChintanSoni's answer didn't worked. I tried deleting the build folder manually but couldn't delete some files since they were being used by some process. Cleaning and re-building the project didn't help so I opened task manager, selected JAVA(TM) Platform SE binary and pressed on 'End task`.

Then I tried to run the project once again and it started compiling fine.
