Unable to delete directory in Android Studio

I have exactly the same problem. The only temporary solution I've found is to exit Android Studio, delete the entire "build" folder (not only the jars), and then getting back to Android Studio to Build it.

The first build goes without errors or any warnings, but to rebuild again you need to follow the same steps as before :(

This is not a solution, obviously, but seems like the problem comes out from any service keeping occupied the files to be deleted in the "Clean" part of the rebuilding process.

EDIT:

It seems there is a problem with NTFS file system in android 2.0 Check out in https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Status%20Priority%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars%20Reporter%20Opened&groupby=&sort=&id=206219

i'm using android studio 2.0 and ubuntu 14.04 64bit.

i have the same problem, i just delete directory under ../app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/

i delete all of this

it works, i can run my project, but it will be showed again in the next running.

For me: Open the command prompt and type taskkill /F /IM java.exe. This will kill all java TM processes automatically.

I'm using Android Studio 2.3.3 on windows, had the same problem, tried deleting the folder and got Access denied, rebooting my computer did not help either, for me the solution was : In Android Studio > File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...
