Deleted all the Nuget packages in my local package

Question

I deleted all the files and folders inside C:\Users\myself\.nuget\packages and now all my .NET Core projects complain that System or Void or anything primitive can't be found. Tried the following

• Nuget.exe -restore c:\path\to\myslnfile.sln -PackagesDirectory C:\Users\myself\.nuget\packages
• Building the solution
• Creating a new project (new projects complain the same thing)

What do I do now?

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Close Visual Studio.
2. Run dotnet restore CMD command for your solution.
3. Re-open Visual Studio.
