I only know how to do this on Windows  but it should be similar on any OS  you will just need to find the correct location yourself - google search would help with that   On Windows  Go to your User Folder - on Windows 7 8 this would be   SYSDRIVE   Users  your username   ex  C  Users JohnDoe   In this folder there should be a folder called  AndroidStudioBeta or  AndroidStudio  notice the period at the start - so on some OSes it would be hidden   Update Now  Android Studio settings is at  C  Users  lt Your User gt  AppData Roaming Google  AndroidStudio4 X Delete this folder  or better yet  move it to a backup location - so you can return it if something goes wrong   This should reset your Android Studio settings to default

We can no longer reset android studio to it s default state by the answers methods given in this question from android studio 3 2 0 Here is the updated new method to do it  It consumes less time as it does not require any update installation    For Windows Mac   Open my computer Go to  C  Users Username  android build-cache Delete the cache files found inside the folder build-cache Note  do not delete the folder named as  3 2 0  and  3 2 1  which will be inside the build-cache Restart Android studio     and that would completely reset your android studio settings from Android studio 3 2 0 and up
