Running a gradle project, you may encounter the error below. In my case it occurs after the gradle project crashed, requiring a restart.
Error message:
>Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'. >Could not load module metadata from /home/username/.gradle/caches/modules-2/metadata-2.97/descriptors/io.netty/netty-common/4.1.23.Final/671a8ecc284f9e9f4d35b614eb5de66e/descriptor.bin
Solution:
You need to delete the cache
cd /home/username/.gradle rm -r caches
