Android studio strange behaviour with some files appearing different than how they are

I have a problem with Android Studio that happened all of a sudden today when I opened AS.
As you may see in the pictures, some files are strange.
In this picture you may see that some of the .java files have different icon
And totally wrong content
Same thing happens with SOME of the XML files which have different content
Also some of the PNG images are not displayed in AS.
All files are ok, if for example I open them externally (notepad...) they are ok (luckily).
Is there a way to fix it?
I've already tried to invalidate cache/restart but it didnt work.
Thanks

I'd try deleting your project from Android Studio (close the project until the project chooser dialog shows up, then click the X next to your project) and then re-import it from build.gradle

Due to no time to find a fine solution, I've reinstalled Android Studio and it worked. If someone has a more smart fix please post it for the others. Also just for your information, I guess the problem was probably about indexing, Android Studio took one file for another, for example when I opened one image from the drawable, he showed me a different one from the drawable folder, but that's a "fortunate" case, cause he took files from whatever folder. Hope it doesn't happen anymore and it doesn't happen to you guys. Bye.

The same happened to me when I updated the libraries in gradle kotlin, etc. what I did was to download my project from my version manager and update the libraries one by one and prove the project works.

Dunno, I've reinstalled Android Studio and reconfigured it. It took me a good amount of time, but in the end it worked. Hope someone read this topic and write a less time-wasting solution. Thanks.

So, it happened once again, but I've found a quick fix.
I post it as an answer so people can easily spot it.
Quick fix:
Go to the folder "C:Users"your user"
Rename the folder ".AndroidStudio3.2" in ".AndroidStudio3.2backup"(name is example)
Launch Android Studio, It will not find configuration files, so it will ask you if you want to import them from the folder ".AndroidStudio3.2backup"
Click yes, few seconds and now you can delete the backup folder cause it will be created another ".AndroidStudio3.2" folder. Notice that I've renamed the original folder instead of delete it for security, and so to avoid to reconfigure Andoid Studio again, but you can choose to start a new configuration if you want.
Once launched Android Studio, click import (gradle...) and import your project.
Everything worked fine after this few seconds quick fix.
Hope it helps.
