ERROR: torch has an invalid wheel, .dist-info directory not found

Question

I was going to install torch in virtual environment. So I commanded !pip install torch, but there was an ERROR.

Collecting torch
    Using cached torch-1.7.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl(184.0 MB)
ERROR: torch ahs an invalid wheel, .dist-info directory not found

In How to fix ".dist-info directory not found" in my package? here, One answer said that deleting Appdata/Local/pip/Cache flder was working.

What should I do?
