Sounds like a possibly a corrupted gradle cache on your system, I would try renaming

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.gradle

to .gradle-bkp (just in case that doesn't help, you can restore it) and trying again.

after renaming that it shows this error do you have any idea about that?

Reboot the system? Sounds like something is keeping some files open in the background and preventing gradle from using them.
