How to completely uninstall Android Studio from windows(v10)?


To Completely Remove Android Studio from Windows:

Step 1: Run the Android Studio uninstaller

The first step is to run the uninstaller. Open the Control Panel and under Programs, select Uninstall a Program. After that, click on "Android Studio" and press Uninstall. If you have multiple versions, uninstall them as well.

Step 2: Remove the Android Studio files

To delete any remains of Android Studio setting files, in File Explorer, go to your user folder (%USERPROFILE%), and delete .android, .AndroidStudio and any analogous directories with versions on the end, i.e. .AndroidStudio1.2, as well as .gradle and .m2 if they exist.

Then go to %APPDATA% and delete the JetBrains directory.

Finally, go to C:\Program Files and delete the Android directory.

Step 3: Remove SDK

To delete any remains of the SDK, go to %LOCALAPPDATA% and delete the Android directory.

Step 4: Delete Android Studio projects

Android Studio creates projects in a folder %USERPROFILE%\AndroidStudioProjects, which you may want to delete.


I was having a problem installing the latest v4.1.2 as it was having an issue where after I start it, it shows my old blank project, so the things I did were:

Caution: Please move your sdk and projects to a separate location before following steps if you haven't. So it might save your time downloading sdks and stuff.

1- Uninstall old Android Studio completely (from Control Panel -> Programs).

2- Delete this Android Studio folder located at C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Google

3- Delete this Android Studio folder located at C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Google

4- Delete these folders (.android ,.AndroidStudio*, .gradle) located at C:\Users\<user_name>

After doing all this, I managed to have fresh updated Android Studio v4.1.2
