[android] How to reset Android Studio

I want to reset Android Studio 0.2.13 to the default state. That means reset all settings, remove all projects, all gradle files so that it would act like a fresh installation. What steps do I have to follow to achieve this?

Linux Android Studio 0.8.6:

rm -R ~/.AndroidStudioBeta/config/

Linux Android Studio 1.0.0:

rm -R ~/.AndroidStudio/config/

On Mac OS X with Android Studio >= 1.0.0

Run these lines:

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

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 1.2.2 version, config path is ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio1.2/ and ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio1.2, so it's better to rm matching prefix.

Linux AnddroidStudio 1.1.0

rm -r ~/.AndroidStudio

If you are using Windows and Android Studio 4 and above, the location to the directory is C:\Users(your name)\AppData\Roaming\Google\

Simple delete the Google folder to reset all settings. Open Android Studio and do not import settings when asked

On a Mac

Delete these using the terminal (usage: rm -rf folderpath):

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

1. Open Home
2. Press Ctrl+H (to show hidden files)
3. Delete AndroidStudio setting folder (like image below)
4. Restart Android Studio

close project if not done earlier or working on a new project. Now open android studio and click on the configure settings button available at the bottom of the small window of android studio, there you will see restore settings to default option. The safe way to do it.

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

1. Open my computer

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

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

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

5. Restart Android studio.

and that would completely reset your android studio settings from Android studio 3.2.0 and up.

You can reset it via menu: File > Manage IDE Settings > Restore Default Settings

On Mac OS X

Remove these directories:

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

Windows Users: Look for C:->Users->YourUserName->.AndroidStudio or .AndroidStudioBeta folder. Delete that.

Mac Users: Delete these using the terminal (usage: rm -rf folderpath): ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioBeta ~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioBeta ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudioBeta ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudioBeta

Linus Users: Delete these using the terminal (usage: rm -r folderpath): ~/.AndroidStudioBeta/config or ~/.AndroidStudio/config

From Linux this is what I did:

Remove the .AndroidStudioBeta folder:

rm -r ~/.AndroidStudioBeta

Remove the project folder. For example:

rm -r ~/AndroidStudioProjects

I needed to do both or stuff kept hanging around.

Hope this helps.

Build - Clean project. Basically, this is a problem with studio 3.0. https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0.html (authorized link).

On MAC delete this folder:

~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1
