Hello Guys, hope everybody is doing well had a working project in which I messed up gradle configs that I couldn't recover from decided to start a new react native project but when running it I get this

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':gradle-plugin'.
> Could not read workspace metadata from /Users/pc/.gradle/caches/8.6/kotlin-dsl/accessors/4027ed2053f60494f4f617682d85525e-VC/metadata.bin

here is my gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.6-all.zip
networkTimeout=10000
validateDistributionUrl=true
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

Any help would be much appreciated, been on this the whole day...

ls -alh /Users/pc/.gradle/caches/8.6/kotlin-dsl/accessors/4027ed2053f60494f4f617682d85525e-VC/metadata.bin
