I faced the same issue, tried everything from changing the dir to deleting the folder again and again I just solved it with these commands in the prompt(anaconda) conda activate py3-TF2 pip install tensorflow-datasets==3.1.0

note:replace py3-TF2 with the env name

and if not an anaconda user than the normal pip install tensorflow-datasets==3.1.0 should fix the issue Happy coding!
