), and delete .android
, .AndroidStudio
and any analogous directories with versions on the end, i.e. .AndroidStudio1.2
, as well as .gradle
and .m2

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

and delete the Android
directory.

and delete the Android
directory.

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.
