Where is uninstall.exe located in android studio 4+?
I recently updated my android studio from version 2020.3 to 2021.1.1 and its causing some issues. Tried to go back to 2020.3 but when I try to uninstall it from windows settings panel the following message shows up.
Went to check inside the file explorer and it really does not have the uninstall.exe file.
I am convinced that there could be an easier solution to this instead of needing to download an older version of Android studio and needing to extract unintall.exe file and copy/paste it in mine.
I have already viewed the following questions

Where to get Android Studio Artic Fox uninstall.exe file?
My Android Studio Chipmunk can not recognize AndroidManifest.xml files in all projects.
Other .xml files are correctly recognized. AndroidManifest is recognized as "plain-text".
I tried to update android studio (got bumblebee before) do completely clean install and also delete and reimport projects.

Problem fixed after updating Android Studio to Dolphin (2021.3.1) and gradle to 7.3.0
I'm using Android Studio 3.3.2. When I try to update the version of Android Studio, it shows an error. It also mentions that there is no solution to the same error.
Go to your android studio installation folder then search for this file. After this
copy the file to a safe place then remove it from android studio folder, so try to update android studio again. If something goes wrong, the fastest way to solve this problem is by remove your old android studio version then download and install the new Android Studio version from here.
I'm trying to free up some disk space and so would like one copy of the Android SDK only, aside from not wanting to maintain two of them. Currently I have one installed for each Android Studio and Visual Studio.
I noticed that there is now a separate, Xamarin specific Android SDK manager that Visual Studio uses in place of the one provided by the Android SDK itself.
Also, Visual Studio's Android NDK is located at "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AndroidNDK". I don't recall installing it there specifically (probably used a default location), but suppose Android Studio could be pointed at it as well.
Can Android Studio and Visual Studio safely share the same Android SDK?
The answer is Yes, I have done this for a long time and it works fine.
In Visual Studio, Xamarin Android SDK default location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AndroidNDK64
In Android Studio, SDK default location is:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle
Use Visual Studio Android SDK only
You could refer to my answer:
Open Android Studio, go to File -> Project Structure
Change the SDK location to your Visual Studio SDK Location
a. Change it to Xamarin Android SDK Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
b. There is a problem when you change the SDK Location: cannot contain whitespace. You could open CMD as Administrator and type: mklink /J C:\Program-Files-(x86) "C:\Program Files (x86)", like this.
c. Then you could change the SDK Location, effect.
Use Android Studio Android SDK only
You just need change Xamarin Android settings as the above picture. You could find it in:
Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Android Setting
It is that new visual studio specific sdk manager I'm worried about.
As #Muhammad said, it won’t broke anything.
Yes, you can. There is no problem at all. You can specify custom SDK path in both Android studio and Visual studio.
Yes for sure, when install visual studio 2017 you can mark in sdk global in individual components tab, and at the end its a path you referring to it in visual studio and android studio.
If you talk about manage this sdk, visual studio 2015 and older versions of visual studio 2017 uses same android sdk manager but lately there is a new sdk manager related to visual studio only not shared between android studio and visually studio
I have android studio 1.0.1 and want to update to 1.3, the 'Update and Restart' button didn't appear only 'download', so I downloaded the patch file from this Latest Android Studio Canary Build: 1.3 Preview 1
downloaded .zip file Windows version. how can I patch it using that .zip file ?
You can simply replace your old Android Studio folder's with the content of zip downloaded. Just be careful about tree view.
That's what I did, and it works.
