Problem
I am new to android development. I am trying to learn flutter and came to know that Android Studio(AS) is better than VS Code for android development.
The laptop I use has an SSD(C:OS and E:Apps) and a Hard disk(D:). C: drive is almost full and can't accommodate Android Studio and all the dependency folders like the sdks, avd folder, graddle etc., So I want to install Android Studio and all other dependencies on the E: drive which has more than 300 GB of space. It is only due to lack of space on C: drive that I want to install Android Studio on E: drive.
What I tried already
Firstly I uninstalled AS manually (because uninstaller is not provided in newer versions) following this article on Reddit Uninstall Android Studio Manually.
Then I installed it again but this time during installation, I changed the location where it saves SDKs and the AS itself to
E:drive. This caused problems with Android Virtual Devices. So following another StackOverflow question, I added an environment variable named ANDROID_SDK_HOME but then I had an issue with AS not detectingadb(but I am able to access it from the command line).I searched for a solution on stack overflow. I saw this question on How to FULLY install Android Studio to a non-default (D:) drive but it was over my head. If that's a valid solution, I would definitely like to know how to add those symbolic links.
Currently, I have uninstalled AS again (manually) and I even deleted the env variable
ANDROID_SDK_HOME. I have flutter and dart installed.
I would like to know how I can install AS and dependencies completely on E: Drive and get it working along with the Android Virtual Device.
Note
Android Studio worked fine when it was on C: drive but C: drive doesn't have enough space to accommodate the growing size of AS and dependencies.
If I have to provide any other information about the current situation, please let me know in a comment rather than in an answer.
