CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. I've tried everything! Dx

Question

So I had a problem a few days ago. That my SSD was full. I don't really store a lot on it, only some core programs and the likes. I also had the Android SDK on it. And that took up some 65GB. So, not finding anything else to move which would free up a lot of space. I decided to move the Android SDK to my hard drive. I uninstalled it using the android sdk manager. And reinstalled it on a folder in my hard drive. Only now, when I build the apk. I get this error when it tries to package the resources

 Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.

I saw several posts on similar invokation failures. But none of the extra details match my error. And I've tried every single thing which was suggested to fix this error. From further research, I found tht it might be due to some xml is probably refrencing the old sdk path somewhere. But I can't find a path like that anywhere in any of the xml files. And I'm just completely stumped on how to fix it. Please help. This has taken up days of my time.

Go into %appdata% on Windows and delete all .android folders you see (in Roaming , and up one folder in Local and LocalLow . These each represent a portion of the Android SDK.)

You cannot just "move the SDK" to another hard drive, it must be installed there (the resgistry needs to know where various utilities like adb.exe are located.) You should delete the copied folder, and install the SDK fresh on your new disk.

If you need even more space free consider:
CCleaner with CCEnhancer (get the free versions).

Edit Normally when something confusing and inexplicable happens, I will use the Unity Editor 5 Packaging system to export my entire Scene + Dependencies (90% of my project if I have no unused assets, e.g: lean project); and import them into a new project. Sometimes something just broke along the way.

According to the OP, the SD$$anonymous$$ was uninstalled and reinstalled...

"I decided to move the Android SD$$anonymous$$ to my hard drive. I uninstalled it using the android sdk manager. And reinstalled it on a folder in my hard drive."
