There is a "native" folder inside the ".gradle" folder that should be removed, i.e., C:\Users\foo.gradle\native

Start by opening the File Explorer. Because folders that start with a dot are usually hidden we'll need to alter the options to show them. Click on Options then Change folder and search options. Click the View tab at top and in the list click the radio button for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives". Click OK

Then on the left click Local Drive (C:) under This PC, then open Users, then your user, then the .gradle folder. Recycle Bin the native folder.
