  Error:Could not set UNIX mode on /Users/*nameHere*/.gradle/daemon/3.3: could not chmod file (errno 1: Operation not permitted)

This happened after I restored project files from an old drive. It turns out for some reason, the directory owner had changed. A chown helped.

sudo chown -R username /path/to/problematic/folder

I solved with a build > clean project in Android Studio.
