Whenever I run flutter doctor or flutter pub get, I am getting the following error

Pub failed to rename directory because access was denied.     
This may be caused by a virus scanner or having a file in the directory open in another application.    
Running "flutter pub get" in flutter_tools...    
pub get failed (1; in the directory open in another application.)

I have tried some commands, ran the commands in administrator mode, but still getting the same error.

For me it helped to delete the 'pubspec.lock' file in the project folder and the run flutter pub get again

The source of my problem was that I had flutter installed directly in the C directory. After moving it to another directory (worked for me under MyUser/Downloads) the problem was solved.

I also faced a similar problem.

so, running flutter clean in terminal solved the problem.
