Uploading error: exit status 1

I am trying to upload a code onto my Arduino and the only message I get is

"Sketch uses 444 bytes (1%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

I am using an Arduino UNO R3 and have already tried quite a few things. I need to fix this in 2 hours for a uni final project and am hopeless. Any help will be appreciated.

Is your board plugged into something .Try uploading the code removing the board from circuit

  1. Did it work in the past?
  2. What is the project about?
  3. Clone or original?
  4. What does your operating system (which one) think of your board?
  5. Correct port selected?
  6. If your board does not use the CH340 serial-to-usb converter, you can run the Loop-Back Test Instructions to analyse a little further.
  7. What is all connected? As mentioned above, disconnect. If you have anything connected to pins 0 and 1, that will interfere with the upload.
