I found another handy solution  which avoids rebuilding all components again and again  in this article  http   bitstopixels blogspot ca 2017 04 react-native-windows-10-eperm-operation html   Execute react-native run-android As soon as React Packager window opens  close it Wait for react-native run-android to complete giving you the BUILD SUCCESSFUL message   The app will be launched with a red error screen complaining connecting to server failed  Don t panic   Then run react-native start to start the React Packager  this is the server indicated in the error message of the previous step Reload the app in emulator or device  Double tap the R key

REACT NATIVE  From your react native folder run    cd android  amp  amp  gradlew clean  THEN  cd     amp  amp  react-native run-android     Notes       For mac you may need to change gradlew to   gradlew      For the command prompt you may need to change the  amp  amp  to  amp       For powershell you may need to change the  amp  amp  to   and gradlew to   gradlew bat      Each command can also be run individually like so cd android then gradlew clean then cd    then react-native run-android

In my case  that problem is about permissions  if you open android studio as administrator  or using sudo  then if you open the project again as normal user  android studio may not delete some files because when you open the project as administrator  some project files permissions are changed  If you lived those steps  I think you should clone the project from your VCS  git  tfs  svn etc   again  Otherwise you have to configure project file - folder permissions

I guess some of the files in the target build directory is open in another tool you use  Just a file handle open in the folder which has to be cleaned  The build task  clean  wants to delete all the files in the build directory normally  target   and when it fails  the build fails
