I'm having the same problem and deleting just the cache.properties.lock is not enough.

The solution, as pointed before, is deleting the cache.properties.lock file, but not only in the folder pointed by Android Studio. I needed to remove every lock file inside .gradle\caches\VERSION.

So, I created a small .bat file with this:

del /s cache.properties.lock

Add this file to .gradle\caches\VERSION\ and run it. My Android Studio stopped complaining afterwards.

Hope it helps!
