Description
I am using Arduino 1.8.10.
I added http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json to Boards Manager URLs and got a downloading error.
"Error downloading http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json"

I have tried deleting sam folder, deleting .json files in hardware folder but nothing worked.

Research direction
The report identifies Arduino IDE 1.8.10, the Boards Manager URL, and the download error; reproduce that setup first. Done would require identifying a reproducible cause and recording a verified fix for downloading the ESP8266 package index.
