events.js :174 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event when using expo

Question

I have setup my react native project using expo on android.

After 'expo start' it runs the application first time but after some time I am getting this error:

events.js :174 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'D:\job_finder_with_authentication\node_modules.staging\set-blocking-ff60c335\LICENSE.txt' Emitted 'error' event at: at NodeWatcher. (D:\job_finder_with_authentication\node_modules\sane\src\node_watcher.js:291:16) at callback (D:\job_finder_with_authentication\node_modules\graceful-fs\polyfills.js:295:20) at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:153:21)`

can someone please help me on this. My app is running directly from phone.
