Uninstalling Android ADT

Question

This seems like a trivial task  but I can t find an option to cleanly de-install the ADT from my Eclipse installation  Of course  I could just delete the folder of the SDK  but this just throws errors when starting up Eclipse the next time  The reason I m asking is because my old ADT keeps throwing a wierd error  Failed to fetch URL https   dl-ssl google com android repository addons list xml  reason  File not found  and I need a complete  fresh re-install   Important  under Help -  about eclipse sdk -  installation details  the uninstall button for all android plugins is greyed out

The only way to remove the ADT plugin from Eclipse is to go to Help > About Eclipse/About ADT > Installation Details.

Select a plug-in you want to uninstall, then click Uninstall... button at the bottom.

If you cannot remove ADT from this location, then your best option is probably to start fresh with a clean Eclipse install.

I found a solution by myself after doing some research    Go to Eclipse home folder  Search for  android     In Windows 7 you can use search bar  Delete all the file related to android  which is shown in the results  Restart Eclipse  Install the ADT plugin again and Restart plugin    Now everything works fine

I had the issue where after updating the SDK it would only update to version 20 and kept telling me that ANDROID 4 1  API16  was available and only part of ANDROID 4 2  API17  was available and there was no update to version 21     After restarting several times and digging I found  was not obvious to me  going to the SDK Manager and going to FILE -  RELOAD solved the problem   Immediately the other uninstalled parts of API17 were there and I was able to update the SDK   Once updated to 4 2 then I could re-update to version 21 and voila   Good luck  David
