I have looked at this question here. but that didn't seem to work for me because I am unsure about what Francisco Romero (chosen answer) said when he said idea.config.path and idea.system.path. I was unsure about what exactly I was supposed to edit and none of the other answers on the question helped.

I just want to be able to move this folder correctly to my E: drive then be able to use Android Studio from there.

My path is C:\Users\NAME\.AndroidStudio3.1 and I'm on a Windows Laptop if that helps.

I may be late, but follow these steps to move the .AndroidStudioX.Y to your desired location:

  1. Close Android Studio if running.
  2. Move .AndroidStudioX.Y folder to new location.
  3. Go to the folder where Android Studio is installed (e.g. C:\Program Files\Android Studio).
  4. Go to bin folder and edit idea.properties file using a text editor.
  5. Uncomment these lines and edit them like in the example image:

idea.config.path

idea.system.path
