**Steps to reinstall [Android](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94387/is-there-any-recovery-software-for-the-android-phone) studio:**

- **Using the Control Panel to uninstall**
- Control Panel will display when you search for it in the Start menu, so click it.
- When the Control Panel window appears, click on Uninstall a Program
- It will list all of the programs installed on our system after we click on it. Double-click on Android Studio to open it. Then it will ask for confirmation, which you should accept. There will be a new dialogue box that appear.
- You can choose anything you wish to uninstall here, beneath the table. Android Studio is enabled by default, and Android user Settings is a folder containing your saved Android Virtual Devices (AVDs), Android SDK caches, and maybe app signing keystores.
- We're doing a complete uninstall here, so we'll tick both boxes and then click Next. Then a new dialogue box will appear; simply click Uninstall to begin the uninstallation process and wait for it to finish.
- Android Studio files should be deleted. Go to your user folder in the file manager, which is C:Users, to erase all Android Studio settings files.
- To get there, type your username or percent USERPROFILE percent in the window start box and hit Enter.
- Delete. android,.AndroidStudio, and any similar directories with versions at the end, such as.AndroidStudio1.2, as well as. Gradle and.m2 if they exist, from this directory. After that, go to %APPDATA% and delete the JetBrains folder.
- Go to C Program Files and destroy the Android folder after you've deleted all of these folders.
- Now that we've destroyed all of the Android Studio files, we'll go to percent LOCALAPPDATA% and delete the Android folder to get rid of any remaining SDK.
- As a result, you completely removed Android Studio from our system.
