In my case, I was unable to Clean Project as well as Sync Gradle Files, So Eventually I was about to give up, but then I went to
AndroidStudioProjects/project_name/app/build/intermediates/apk_ide_redirect_file/debug in the file explorer and found a file named redirect
That file contained the following information

#- File Locator -
listingFile=../../apk/debug/output-metadata.json

From here, I tried to locate the path mentioned in this file and I was unable to find it
So I searched output-metadata in the file explorer from AndroidStudioProjects/project_name and I found a bunch of output-metadata files, I copied the first one and pasted it in the mentioned location, and then everything worked perfectly

Now I don't know wether this is the right way to solve this or not, but it worked...
Hope it helps you...

Open your project.
If your project files are not loaded and instead you see: 'Loading...' cancel Sync Gradle by clicking on X at the bottom, this should show your files back.
Clean Project: Build -> Clean Project
Rebuild Project: Build -> Rebuild Project
