DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open a large project, build&run
2. Change anything in it, such as in some layout file.
3. Try to build&run

The bug is that very often, the IDE claims it can't delete some files.
In most cases, the error is something like that:

"
Couldn't delete C:\Users\User\AndroidStudioProjects\...\build\intermediates\compile_and_runtime_not_namespaced_r_class_jar\debug\R.jar
"

It can also complain differently.

The workaround is one or more of these:
1. Clean project
2. Delete the file/folder myself, unlocking if needed
3. Kill some sub-processes of the IDE
4. Close the IDE completely, and restart it .
