I'm trying to remove all the duplicates to keep it under 64K limit (now I have 65239, which is not good, because, in this case, I need to use multidex, which requires yet another dependency), but I could not find any information on how to remove modules from sub-groups.
For example, almost every sub-dependency under com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0 has com.android.support:support-compat:26.1.0, which I need to remove because com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0 already has one in the root, and this one I need to keep.
// Update: The following thread gradle - library duplicates in dependencies discuss a different problem the one which involves different versions of dependencies. I do not have that problem, all the dependencies which I use have the version I need.
I need to remove all modules that flagged with (*)
