Can't upload sketches on my arduino

Hi i'm new to arduino and i've recently come came up with the issue that it will not upload my sketches onto the board

It says this error message:

Sketch uses 1,068 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

I've tried reinstalling IDE, updating drivers, burning the bootloader onto the arduino and nothing seems to work so.... please help!

thanks!

Try to set verbose mode for uploading (File>Preferences) and post results here.

What OS is used?

plus we need the following information:

  • what kind of Arduino?
  • is it an original one or a clone?
  • what IDE version?
