Plugin descriptor file is empty

us flag

I have corrupted my Android Studio install (Arctic Fox 2020.3.1.25). Is there a way to regenerate the plugin descriptor file?

After updating the Kotlin plugin, I dismissed the "Restart" dialog b/c it was blocking the UI and I wanted to check on some other suggestion entries in the log output.

I then closed the project and exited the IDE completely. After restarting, there was no syntax highlighting and there was a warning about no style information (I should've instead restarted the IDE with the Restart button from Plugins).

From Settings > Plugins, the latest version of Kotlin on the Marketplace tab showed as "Installed", however the Installed tab still showed the previous version.

I then disabled the installed Kotlin plugin and exited out. Now when launching from bin/studio.sh the following error is given:

x@ubuntu:/usr/local/dev/android/studio-2020.3.1.25/bin$ ./studio.sh

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
