Gradle sync failed access is denied in android studio

Question

Can someone please explain to me what this error is and how to resolve this error?

Gradle sync failed: D:\\SoundsandPictures.gradle\\4.4\\fileHashes\\

Answer 1

Very late answer, but I was getting the error "caches\5.1.1\file-changes\last-build.bin (Access is denied)", deleting that file and re-building the project worked for me.
