Android studio 3.0 compile time error BUILD FAILED - android-gradle-plugin

Question

I'm facing this issue after moving on android studio 3.0.
Whenever I try to run after couple of time then this error occurs.
Information:Gradle tasks [:app:assembleDevDebug]
Error:java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.io.IOException: Could not delete path 'D:\Akash\Final\android_main\app\build\intermediates\transforms\desugar\dev\debug\0.jar'.
Error:com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.io.IOException: Could not delete path 'D:\Akash\Final\android_main\app\build\intermediates\transforms\desugar\dev\debug\0.jar'.
Error:java.io.IOException: Could not delete path 'D:\Akash\Final\android_main\app\build\intermediates\transforms\desugar\dev\debug\0.jar'.
Information:BUILD FAILED in 2s
Information:3 errors
Information:0 warnings
Solution is to rebuild or clean then run app.
Because of this i am not able to use instant run feature.
I have already tried this solution and it works works.
But why am I facing this issue frequently like 4-5 times in an hour?
P.S I do not have admin access. as mentioned HERE as accepted answer
The rest of my projects are working fine without any issue.
You may find this question as duplicate but the previous solutions are not really helpful to me at all.

Answer 1

I also encountered the same problem and solved it.
Try to update Realm plugin to 4.2.0.
See File handles are not released in RealmTransformer · Issue #5521 · realm/realm-java

Answer 2

try this one for missing java file as 1.jar,2.jar....28.jar,29.jar...as soon
in gradle.properties add the following:
android.enableD8.desugaring = true
