I had some luck deleting nuget files out of AppData and restarting VS2015.

How I did it:

1) Go to c:\Users\yourname\AppData\ in File Explorer.

2) Search for "nuget"

3) Delete anything that looks like it's transient -- in particular there should be a couple .nuget folders, but I didn't mark the locations. Since I have ReSharper and Chocolately installed, I noticed that some hits that looked specific to those applications which I did not delete.

4) Restart Visual Studio.
