Marlin Wont Build--Verbose mode can be enabled via `-v, --verbose` option

Hello

As of recent, I havent been able to make ANY builds. AT ALL. I dont know what is going on. Every time it is the same message. If anyone can please help me I would greatly appreciate it

The message is as follows;

Verbose mode can be enabled via -v, --verbose option
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: ‘C:\Users\chris\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoststm32\variants\MARLIN_BIGTREE_OCTOPUS_V1’:

see Error : showing up on every project - #2 by maxgerhardt.

Yes, that was it. Something along the way was broken, dont have time to find out. So, thank you friend.

In summary, the fix was me going in to;

c:users/chris/.platformio/

delete contents INSIDE platforms
delete contents INSIDE packages

then go back to VS CODE and try and hit CLEAN again. You just see a basic loading loop. On the far right of the terminal there is a list of ‘projects’. One of them upon click will show you that platformio is in fact doing a series of downloads and repopulating the necessary folders and docs. It lets you know when it reaches completion.
