CorruptedCacheException: Corrupted IndexBlock 298298 found in cache ‘/Users/macuser/.gradle/caches/journal-1/file-access.bin’

I had the same issue on a mac as well.

  1. Open your /Users/macuser/ folder
  2. Press CMD + SHIFT + . (dot/period) to view hidden folders
  3. DELETE .gradle folder
  4. Restart Android Studio

This will cause Android Studio to rebuild and re-download your .gradle folder fixing your corrupt files in the process.

NOTE* I’m looking for experienced programmers to let us know if this is safe / correct to do so! It worked for me with no errors but i’m new to this so a second opinion would be appreciated.
