/avr-g++": file does not exist

My Arduino IDE app keeps saying that it cant find a file. And when I go to that files location the file isn't there even though I just downloaded it.

exec: "C:\\Users\\Oliver\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\arduino\\tools\\avr-gcc\\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/bin/avr-g++": file does not exist

Compilation error: exec: "C:\\Users\\Oliver\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\arduino\\tools\\avr-gcc\\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/bin/avr-g++": file does not exist

Did you try uninstall the IDE and re-install the IDE?

Your installation seems corrupt for some reason.

Using board manager, downgrade the AVR board package (not the IDE) to a lower version (e.g. 1.8.3) and next upgrade to a newer version (e.g. 1.8.6).

If that does not solve the problem, antivirus software might have blocked / removed it.

Thanks, it worked
