I'm trying to build a Flutter app in debug mode on a physical device, but the build fails with the following error: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong: Multiple build operations failed. Could not read workspace metadata from C:\Users\USER.gradle\caches\8.10.2\transforms\7c689a5a75dba8db063ea504d8a8c22b\metadata.bin Could not read workspace metadata from C:\Users\USER.gradle\caches\8.10.2\transforms\25e07fe667eb3150ae55636163d489c1\metadata.bin ... (and many more similar errors). The error seems to be related to corrupted Gradle cache files. I've tried the following steps but the issue persists:

Ran flutter clean.

Deleted the global Gradle cache folder (C:\Users\USER.gradle\caches).

Ran flutter pub get to refresh dependencies.

Rebuilt the app using flutter run.

Despite these steps, the build still fails with the same errors.

You need to delete C:/Users/<YourUserName>/.gradle completely, because the cache is probably corrupted and needs to be recreated.

Try to delete/backup and remove the C:\Users\USER.gradle directory as well
