Note that Windows hides the `AppData` folder by default. A list will now appear of all available libraries, where we can also search for the library we want to use. remove folder `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Arduino15\cache` With the editor open, let's take a look at the left column. remove file `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Arduino15\package_index.json` Now the package_index has been fixed, but to recover a working installation you must delete once again the package_index.json with the cache folder and restart the IDE as usual.
