Im trying to add some buttons for a racing simulator with a leonardo and no experience before. I have an issue where i try to upload the sketch after successfully verifying it but i get this error:

Make sure you have the correct port for your Leonardo selected from the Tools > Port menu.

If the Leonardo is doing serial communication with a program other than the Arduino IDE or Serial Monitor/Serial Plotter then you need to close that connection before uploading.

Try restarting your computer. Sometimes something will glitch out and cause this sort of upload error.
