delete the /AppData/Local/Arduino15 folder in your home directory, caution: all Arduino settings are lost

Still,wont upload..

In your Documents folder you also have two folders "Arduino" and "ArduinoData", can you try to move them somewhere else (i.e. to your desktop), relaunch the IDE and proceed to the re-installation of esp8266 sdk first, then deauther sdk.

Well,still im having the same issue.

andrej66659 on 24 Mar 2018

Maybe use the binaries instead ?
I've given you all the know solutions for this issue, can't do more with this much information.

Also getting this when in Boards Menager with this link "http://phpsecu.re/esp8266/package_deauther_index.json"
as additional boards manager url.

just updated the readme accordingly, you need to install the esp8266 package too
also add this URL in your boards manager: http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
