While using Android Studio on mac, I came into this popup message.

Low disk space on a Android Studio system directory partition.

I really can't figure out what this message is actually talking about. Please give me some guidance and that will be very much appreciated.

  • @CoreyOgburn I think I'm being quite confused with the term 'partition' here. Does that refer to the free disk size? –  Jun 25 '15 at 14:36
  • A hard disk drive is sectioned in different sections named as partitions. A partition serves as a seperate logical volume. On windows partitions are shown like C:/, D:/ as an example – dnsiv Nov 15 '18 at 13:04
  • It might be possible, that your OS-Partition, where Android Studio is installed has no more free space available – dnsiv Nov 15 '18 at 13:05

JAVA jdk and all sdk related file it May consume most of its disk space

Re-install Android Studio on a larger partition and it may solve your problem.

also make sure to also save AppData\Local\Android\sdk on the larger partition

  • Thanks for answering, but what exactly do you mean by partition? –  Jun 25 '15 at 15:00
  • Right that's the one I was confused about. Even though my mac is not partitioned, it keeps saying the partition stuff.. –  Jun 25 '15 at 15:08
  • Sorry I'm quite new to mac, and there might be something I'm not getting clear about the system. –  Jun 25 '15 at 15:09

  • Hmm strange. My mac is single-partitioned so there should not be any issues with the partition. Besides there are more than 200 GBs left. –  Jun 25 '15 at 15:14
  • I think the problem is, once the application was installed it was placed on the smaller partition. reinstall it will work thanks – Anil Meenugu Jun 25 '15 at 15:21
