Flutter can't delete build folder with flutter clean command

Question

build file doesn't remove anyway. I tried do that answers but no one work for me

how can I delete this folder?

    Failed to delete some children. This might happen because a process has files open or has its working directory set in the target directory.

Failed to remove build. A program may still be using a file in the directory or the directory itself.

You can use your CMD as an administrator and run the command.

Then, if you are using Android Studio as an IDE, you can process this:

File->Invalidate Caches / Restart

If none of them works, just restart your computer.

Your answer is attached to answers I mentioned in the question post It doesn't work for me – Saayeed M Daawoud Oct 10 '22 at 12:41
Restarting your computer didnt work? – Nijat Namazzade Oct 10 '22 at 12:45
Yes, didn't work – Saayeed M Daawoud Oct 10 '22 at 12:49
According to theory, the flutter clean operation failed because a program is holding a file open in one of the directories that the tool is trying to remove, Morover, I suspect there's not much the tool can do. – Nijat Namazzade Oct 10 '22 at 12:56
Temporarily, I solved this problem by pull the project from GitHub and working on it and leaving the other one unresolved – Saayeed M Daawoud Oct 10 '22 at 13:00

Happy for u! But this is a very specific problem related to your machine or another thing, and that's why no solution didn't work for your problem. – Nijat Namazzade Oct 10 '22 at 13:02
