Problem with destination directory .git: permission denied

[rchinthala]

I am a beginner to use Sourcetree. Initially, I have created a repository for a project. Then I have deleted the repository without removing from disk in local mode of sourcetree and I tried to add SSH Keys, Connected to remote account to Gitlab account. Then I plan to start over again. 

When I am trying to create a repository for the same project which I have created earlier.Its throwing the error as "Problem with destination Directory:: The destination path already exists. Do you wish to continue and create a repository in this folder? If I click Yes Then its showing error as "Problem with destination Directory:: An error occurred while checking the destination directory /.git: Permission denied.

But I am not able to see the existing repository and not able to create the new repository for that project.

I tried to uninstall the soucertree and install it again.But it does not works for me.
