If you manually downloaded the flutter zip file and extracted it to the src folder on your C drive rather than cloning the repository with git, simply delete the extracted file and proceed as follows:

1. Launch your terminal 
2. Execute "cd.." twice.
3. Then execute cd src
4. Finally, execute "git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter" to clone the repository.

This should clone the Flutter repository in the correct location, and you should be able to run "flutter doctor" command without any issues.

It should look like this:

C:\Users\Abba>cd ..

C:\Users>cd ..

C:>cd src

C:\src>git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter Cloning into 'flutter'... remote: Enumerating objects: 443987, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (1813/1813), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (717/717), done. remote: Total 443987 (delta 1109), reused 1467 (delta 930), pack-reused 442174 Receiving objects: 100% (443987/443987), 249.96 MiB | 4.87 MiB/s, done.

For me, running flutter clean solved it. It gives an error as shown but after running flutter upgrade it shows that it solved the issue.
