Android Studio usually puts these three folders in C:/Users/ Users by default after Windows installation, which will cause a problem that it takes up a lot of space on DRIVE C, so I want to move it to another drive to reduce the space pressure on drive C.

What these three folders do:

  • Android this folder is the AVD (simulator) path generated by the Android SDK.
  • AndroidStudio is the configuration folder of AndroidStudio, which contains some AndroidStudio Settings and plugin and project cache information.
  • The. Gradle folder is the configuration folder of the build tool Gradle. It also stores build cache information for some projects.

This time, I will move these three files to drive F. First, I will create the folder AndroidConfig under drive F, and then copy the three folders of drive C into this target folder.
