I ran into the same issue while working with gradle. This is a known issue with gradle

https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1018.

Running the following command may help to free up the stale file to continue processing:

TASKKILL /F /IM java.exe

You should now be able to run your

ionic cordova emulator android -l

command and get past the error that you posted
