Updated android studio and plugins when sync, fails with could not create parent directory for lock file

wrapper properties:

#Sun Mar 05 16:51:59 PKT 2017 distributionBase=
GRADLE_USER_HOME  distributionPath=wrapper/
dists  zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/
dists  distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/
gradle- 3.3-all.zip

build.gradle app module:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.sarahn.toyapplication"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 
'proguard-   rules.pro'
}
}
productFlavors {
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:
2.2.2',   {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

build.gradle(project)

`// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options 
common to  all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'

// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}

}

allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

tried downloading NDK, deleting .gradle folder from project and from installs but not going forward

Environment: Windows 10

Verify the Gradle User Home path in the Android studio:

File -> Settings -> Build,Execution,Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle

Keep the Gradle User Home Empty.

This worked for me Android Studio v3.0

delete in the root folder .gradlew gradle.bat(on windows) , gradle/ .idea/ reopen the project.

this worked for me android studio version 3.3.1

Click on File in the app bar then Invalidate caches / Restart then INVALIDATE AND RESTART

Just go to gradle folder inside your android studio path and change the version of your gradle, by dowloading the latest gradle version. then go to android studio > settings and change gradle version to the one that you installed
