Stefan is suggesting you delete the folder “C:\Users\fedel_000\.julia”. That is the folder that holds julia packages, and somehow your folder got messed up, probably due to some manual things you did there. Just delete that whole folder, start julia, and then only manage packages via the Pkg.* functions, not by manually downloading, copying etc. files in that folder. Once you have more experience with the julia package manager and understand how it works, you can start to do things manually.

I found the folder METADATA as you suggested me and there are a lot of folders inside. Do you mean that I just have to delete all the folders inside METADATA?

You can find that directory in Julia like this: julia> Pkg.dir("METADATA") "/Users/stefan/.julia/v0.5/METADATA" That's example output for my system. Your location will be different.
