Compile Error

[karansoi]

I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.8
Things were going good. when I deleted the espressif folder from my sketch book directory.
I cloned the repository from Github again but my code is not compiling.
This is the error
******
Arduino: 1.8.8 (Windows 10), Board: "LOLIN D32, Default, 80MHz, 921600, None"

Board d32 (platform esp32, package esp32) is unknown

Error compiling for board LOLIN D32.
Could not find boards.txt in C:\Users\Karanbir\Documents\Arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32. Is it pre-1.5?
WARNING: Error loading hardware folder C:\Users\Karanbir\Documents\Arduino\hardware\espressif
No valid hardware definitions found in folder espressif.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

What am I missing?
I did a new install of the Arduino IDE yet this error persists.

Did another install of Arduino IDE, and cloned the ESP32 repositiry with GIT GUI and GIT Bash.
Now it is working.
Problem Solved.
