You can run flutter clean.

But that's most likely a problem with your IDE or similar, as flutter run creates a brand new apk. And hot reload push only modifications.

Try running your app using the command line flutter run and then press r or R for respectively hot-reload and full-reload.

• flutter clean will delete the /build folder.
• Manually delete the /build folder, which is essentially the same as flutter clean.
• Or, as @Rémi Roudsselet pointed out: restart your IDE, as it might be caching some older error logs and locking everything up.
