Cannot load project: Android Studio

Question

My laptop crashed while Android Studio was running. Now, When I tried to open project in Android Studio it gives me weird error and no project is opening.

Cannot load project: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: java.lang.AssertionError: Unexpected content storage modification"**

Edit: Also I'm in the welcome screen of Android Studio and have no access to Menu options to Invalidate Caches and restart Android Studio.

Answer 1

I had really big issue as I was not able to open project in Android Studio. Every time I start Android Studio dialog box appear that says:

Cannot load project: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: java.lang.AssertionError: Unexpected content storage modification

I solved it by doing following steps:

1. Close Android Studio
2. Go to the directory home_dir/.AndroidStudio/system/cache
3. Remove all the files in the cache directory.
4. Then restart IntelliJ
