Will not compile any code at all. getting error message:
c:\program files (x86\arduino \hardware\tools\avr\bin\ .. \lib/gcc/avr/5.4.0/../../../../avr/bin/ar.exe: unable to rename 'c:\users\terry\appdata\local\temp\arduino_build_604346\core\core.a'; reason:file exists
I have deleted, installed, reinstalled the ide many times. Something must be staying in the computer even after uninstalling the ide. I cannot find it if it is.
Thanks if anyone has the solution.
If I try to copy and paste the error messages from the Arduino ide it is pages long?
