How to reset Android Studio

Question

I want to reset Android Studio 0.2.13 to indicate the default state. This means that reset all settings, delete all projects, all gradle files, so that it acts like a new installation. What steps should I follow to achieve this?

Answer 1

I only know how to do this on Windows (but it should look like any OS, you just need to find the right location yourself - a Google search will help with this).

On Windows:

Go to your User Folder - in Windows 7/8 it will be:

[SYSDRIVE]:\Users\[your username] (for example, C:\Users\JohnDoe\ )

This folder should have a folder named .AndroidStudioBeta or .AndroidStudio (pay attention to the period at the beginning - so it will be hidden on some operating systems).

Delete this folder (or, even better, move it to the backup location to return it if something goes wrong).

This should match reset to your Android Studio settings.

Answer 2

On mac os x

Delete these directories:

 ~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioBeta ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudioBeta ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudioBeta ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioBeta 

Answer 3

For MaxOSX:

 rm -rfv ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio* rm -rfv ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio* rm -rfv ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio* rm -rfv ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio* rm -rfv ~/.AndroidStudio* 

For Android Studio version 1.2.2, the configuration path is ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio1.2/ and ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio1.2 , so rm best prefix.

Answer 4

On Mac OS X with Android Studio> = 1.0.0

Run the following lines:

 rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudio rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio 

Answer 5

From Linux, this is what I did:

Delete the .AndroidStudioBeta folder:

 rm -r ~/.AndroidStudioBeta 

Delete the project folder. For example:

 rm -r ~/AndroidStudioProjects 

I needed to do both, or the things that hung around.

Hope this helps.

Answer 10

We can no longer set Android Studio to its default state using the answers / methods given in this question from Android Studio 3.2.0. Here is an updated new method for this (it takes less time, since it does not require updating / installation),

For windows / mac

1. Open my computer

2. Go to C:\Users\Username\.android\build-cache

3. Delete cache / files found inside build-cache folder

4. Note: do not delete the folder with the names "3.2.0" and "3.2.1", which will be inside build-cache

5. Restart Android Studio.

and that would completely reset your Android Studio settings from Android Studio 3.2.0 and higher.
