With the new version of Android studio (4.1) some plugins are compatible with IntelliJ IDEA only. I had some issues in delete the plugins not compatible from Android Studio so I solved the problem looking in my File Manager.

I located the unsupported plugins in

/home/**YOUR_USERNAME**/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/

I deleted the JAR files and the issue was solved.

Some other pluging anyway could create other issues and Android Studio ask us if we want to report them to Google. Deleting the plugins files or Folders, as above,this issue was solved too.

  • I'm on Windows and can't find the versioned directory in Users/*username*/. There is only a .android directory there. – Asim Oct 14 '20 at 07:03
  • @Asim for windos go to this directory : C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins – Alireza Jan 03 '21 at 05:48

If you used Jetbrains Toolbox to install Android Studio, it should be located at: ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio

You can find it at:

/home/**YOUR_USERNAME**/.AndroidStudio2.2/config/plugins

For Ubuntu users

  1. go to home
  2. press ctrl+h to show hidden folder .local
  3. now go to .local folder
  4. you will find the share folder, go inside the share folder
  5. Find Google and go to the Android Studio 4.1 folder and you can see all the plugin folders you have added to your Android Studio.
