Hi Adel, A temporary fix would be to run Maven with a -o parameter for offline mode. This ensures that Maven will not look online. In my settings.xml, I don't specify the <localRepository> tag. I have never had to change the settings.xml file except to add mirrors. Since it says your folder does not exist, maybe you can remove that <localRepository> tag. See if that works.
