I have two drives on my computer, but I don't have space on my default drive (C), so I now use my D drive. Yet, when I install a Wear OS Large - API 33
on the Android Device Manager to run my Xamarin app, it says that there is not enough storage on the drive. I assume this is because it is trying to install on the C drive, not the D drive. Is there a working way to change the directory that new devices are installed on?
VS Version: Visual Studio 2022
I've tried setting the ENV variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME
and ANDROID_AVD_HOME
(not at the same time) to a folder I made in my new documents folder: D:\<REDACTED>\Documents\Android Device Manager Devices
, but it still didn't do anything, even after restarting both Visual Studio and my computer.
You can't change the default installation location of the Android emulator. The default installation location is on the C drive. You can change the disk.dataPartition.size
and install it again. You can also check out this article to manage your emulator devices.
