Thanks for the feedback! If your issue is related to the Flutter framework itself,
please open an issue at

So I encountered the same problem. This probably occurred because I have my flutter SDK installed in the E:\ directory rather than default C:\ directory.
This is how I solved it,
1: Check where your Flutter Sdk is present. You can do this by creating a "New project->Flutter->Flutter Sdk" (This works if you have the flutter Sdk installed and configured, If you don't have it installed you can click on install Sdk option in the same "new Project->Flutter" window).
2: Then open Terminal by going to bottom right corner of you IDE and then clicking on terminal.
3: Change your directory to the flutter sdk's bin location by Typing "cd _yourSdkLocation\bin". Here replace "_yourSdkLocation" with the directory address where your flutter Sdk is present.
4: Then run "flutter upgrade --force"

Hope this Helps. :)

Could you paste the entire error message?

Thanks!

[flutter] flutter upgrade
Your flutter checkout has local changes that would be erased by upgrading. If you want to keep these changes, it is recommended that you stash them via "git stash" or else commit the changes to a local branch. If it is okay to remove local changes, then re-run this command with --force.
exit code 1

Thanks For responding @pq
