Error:Timeout waiting to lock buildscript class cache for build file when change minSdkVersion

Question

I try to change minSdkVersion in build.gradle (Module: app) in Android Studio and get next error:

Error:Timeout waitin         


        

Answer 1

Delete .gradle folder from / and resync gradle from project.

Answer 2

The lock file is there because some other gradle process (usually the daemon) is using the cache. You could stop all gradle processes to release the lock

gradle --stop

Answer 3

For me the only thing that worked was deleting these things inside android folder:

• {appname}.iml
• .idead/
• .gradle/buildOutputCleanup/
