Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: Unable to open `/path/pstore.bin`: Permission denied

Question

Why is android emulator not starting? It was working but accidentally it starts to throw this exception and the emulator hangs up on Start Screen as follows

and in android studio, when I run my code it says

Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: Unable to open C:\Users\Aman.android\avd\Android_Accelerated_x86_Oreo.avd\data\misc\pstore\pstore.bin: Permission denied

As answered here I unchecked the pstore folder Readonly attribute but it didn't help me. I have also tried deleting the folder it doesn't also fix the problem.
I am woking on windows 10 with

Android Studio 3.3
API Level 27
Android 8.1 (Google APIs)

Are you accessing files on the start of the app? because if that's the case than you have to ask the runtime permission first.

clear data on the emulator. Give Android studio as an administrator and qemu as administrator and i think your problem will be solved/ – raj kavadia Mar 07 '19 at 05:39
how should I clean the data from the emulator? Android Studio is running in Administrators permission..? Also the `pstore folder is setting it self readonly`, can it be the cause for that?? – Qwerty Mar 07 '19 at 05:47
change folders permission than. – raj kavadia Mar 07 '19 at 05:52
