Trying to run `gradle init` again also now fails. What do I have to delete from the root dir to do the init from scratch?

Regarding the problem, you are hitting this bug: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/28251|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/28251>

If you just delete the line from the settings script it should work as good as it gets. 

Btw. I highly recommend using Kotlin DSL. By now it is the default DSL, you immediately get type-safe build scripts, actually helpful error messages if you mess up the syntax, and amazingly better IDE support if you use a good IDE like IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio.

<@URQ797WRW>, thank you!  According to the bug, it has been fixed and merged. How do I get the fix?  Is there a version of Gradle that now has the fix?

According to milestone 8.8 will have it, you can try with a nightly build if you want

Or you just use one of the work-arounds, that is answering "no" to the last question, or deleting the one bad line from the setting script after the task finished.

Thank you. But just to be clear:
In order to “answer ‘no’ to the last question” I have to have “init” working.

&gt; If you just delete the line from the settings script it should work as good as it gets.
Which line? the “includeBuild(‘build-logic’)” line?

Or should I just delete all the Gradle directories/files: /gradle, /build.gradle, /gradlew, /gradlew.bat, /mvnw, mvnw.cmd, /settings.gradle, and try `gradle init` again?

&gt; In order to “answer ‘no’ to the last question” I have to have “init” working.
I don't get what you say, the question is part of `init`.
&gt; Which line? the “includeBuild(‘build-logic’)” line?
Yes, that's the bug, that the line is added even though it is not created for a single-module Maven build that is "transformed"
&gt; /mvnw, mvnw.cmd
Those are Maven, not Gradle.
The others you could of course delete to run `init` again, but as I said, just delete that line and you should be fine.

I did finally get it working!  Thank you!
