Error while waiting for device: Illegal char <*> at index 0: *.lock

I am not able to run my android application on emulator. I am getting Error while waiting for device: Illegal char <*> at index 0: *.lock. For this I deleted hardware-qemu.ini.lock folder of avd, but after deleting this when I am running app this folder is coming again and not able to launch app.

Can someone help me to solve this issue?

I tried to remove hardware-qemu.ini.lock folder of avd.

I am expecting to solve this issue.

I had this error and solved it by going to Device Manager > Edit this AVD (pencil icon) > Show Advanced Settings > Emulated Performance > Boot Options : select "Cold Boot"

Then I restarted Android Studio and did not get the error again.
