I've got the command to boot a sim and wipe the data
emulator -avd myemu -wipe-data
but how can I wipe the data of the sam AVD without booting it?
How about all AVDs which are not booted?
You can wipe the emulator's data using the Wipe user data option when starting the emulator from the Android AVD Manager. If you are using the command line SDK instead, you can switch to the GUI tools as detailed on this page, which is more convenient than dealing with the command line arguments.

I am using avdmanager to create an avd to run with the latest android emulator on Ubuntu 21.10.
I am using Android emulator version 31.2.8.
When I create and avd with system image 28...
avdmanager create avd -n pixel_5 -k "system-images;android-28;google_apis_playstore;x86_64" --device "pixel_5"
and run it..
emulator -avd pixel_5
I can then subsequently hold the power button, and the android OS on the emulator properly powers off.
When I create and avd with system image 30 or 31...
avdmanager create avd -n pixel_5 -k "system-images;android-31;google_apis_playstore;x86_64" --device "pixel_5"
Once the emulator starts, the power button does absolutely nothing, if I click on long click.
It's because a bad person at Google decided that the power button should trigger the Google Assistant. You can un-break it in Settings->System->Gestures->Power menu->Hold for Assistant
Find your avd path(default~/.android/avd)
Find the AVD name (your is pixel_5)
Open the folder and find config.ini
Edit hw.keyboard = yes
I just updated Android SDK to version 21 and trying to start emulator. I am using Nexus 4 with CPU Intel atom (x86) 768 RAM and 524 internal storage. Emulator starts fine but it shows en error message, "Storage space running out" and it is very slow. I tried increasing the RAM also but didn't work. What could be the issue?
Open AVD Manager --> Wipe Data
You have to go in your android folder e.g. on OSX ~/.android/avd/{YOUR_AVD_NAME} and edit file config.ini.
Just add or modify row disk.dataPartition.size = YOUR_SIZE
e.g. disk.dataPartition.size = 1G
Then you may have to wipe your emulator's disk.
emulator -avd "Name" -partition-size 500
This solved the issue for me.
Update on how to execute above command:
Go to a terminal
cd [android SDK directory]/tools/
linux terminal: ./emulator -avd nameOfAvd -partition-size 500 &
windows : emulator -avd nameOfAvd -partition-size 500
Go to AVD manager on your android studio.
click on the pencil icon of the virtual device.
on the pop up window click on advanced settings at the bottom.
scroll down to memory and storage and alter the default definitions of MB/GB etc.
REinstal the emulator..
Go to your AVD location and delete all the files in avd folder( C:\Users\acer.android\avd ),
then Go to android studio AVD Manager and install a new emulator.
( but this will erase the current emulator so, you'll need to download it again..)
whenever i start eclipse or android studio an emulator is constantly running in the background. when i try to turn it off it restarts again immediately. no matter if i work with a real device or an emulator i have created, this other emulator is not stoppable. in the android debug monitor this emulator is listed as emulator-5554 - Online - ? [2,3,4, debug] (Version API10). i never created or used this emulator, and there is no place to find and delete it.
actually i am able to work with eclipse or android studio with that annoying emulator, but it seems to slow down the performance and i would like to get ride of it.
Were you using BlueStacks back then by any chance?
It uses the port 5554, and that might have been your problem too!
It happened to me as well and found the solution in another question:
Eclipse Android Emulator-5554 is always displayed
Strange, but should be able to kill a "hidden" emulator instance from the command-line by connecting to its console, i.e.:
telnet localhost 5554
kill
Replace 5554 with your emulator instance's number.
I use AndroVM. For me its perfect.
Todo is:
install VirtualBox first
download AnroVM
file will open in VirtualBox
start the machine and set USB debug on (settings >> dev. options)
in commandprompt goto your "sdk\platform-tools" type adb connect 192.168.15.101
When it's ok you will see your device in Eclipse.
edit: When your Eclipse is not working well, just download a new bundle again
I got below errors while trying the above question . does anyone know what's going wrong?
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
$ emulator -avd -wipe-data
PANIC: Could not open: -wipe-data
$ emulator -avd emulator-5554 -wipe-data
PANIC: Could not open: emulator-5554
Open command prompt,
android-sdk-windows\tools>emulator -avd -wipe-data
example-
emulator -avd androidavd2 -wipe-data
You can wipe data while starting emulator in ADT plugin, just mark checkbox:
So I know this question is a few years old. But I'm going to answer anyways because no answer has been accepted.
FIRST, make sure that (your-android-sdk-location)/tools is on your $PATH. It wouldn't hurt to verify this by using which emulator from the terminal. For example when I do this it outputs:
/Users/chris.w.newman/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator
SECOND, find where your AVDs are located. By default it is located in the .android/avd directory in your User account folder. So for me it is here:
/Users/chris.w.newman/.android/avd
THIRD, cd to the above directory and get the list of devices you have created by listing them with ls
chriswnewmans-MacBook-Pro:~ chris.w.newman$ cd /Users/chris.w.newman/.android/avd
chriswnewmans-MacBook-Pro:avd chris.w.newman$ ls
Nexus_5_API_19.avd Nexus_5_API_19.ini
Note that every device has a pair of results, an .avd folder and an .ini file. You can see that I have one device whose name is Nexus_5_API_19.
FOURTH, to wipe the data of the device from the terminal you use the emulator -wipe-data command. Some people might find this annoying because it will ALSO launch the emulator after it finishes wiping the data. Anyways here's how you do it:
emulator -avd Your_Device_Name -wipe-data
The main reason I find this approach to wiping data annoying is that now the emulator is running from the terminal. That means if I wanted to do more work in the terminal, I would either need to open another terminal (I hate having multiple terminals open), or close my emulator to free up the terminal.
For completeness sake, I will mention that you can wipe the data of an emulator from the AVD manager (at least the one that is built into Android Studio). Open the AVD manager and in the list of devices, all the way on the right hand side you click the dropdown arrow and select Wipe Data. This wipes the data without launching the emulator.
I have Windows10 and using Android Studio 3.4
Follow the steps:
Tools -> AVD Manager -> Right Most Button under Actions(Down triangle Icon) -> Wipe Data
This image shows the steps in a screenshot.
Try:
emulator -list-avds
EMULATOR_NAME will be displayed
emulator -avd EMULATOR_NAME -wipe-data
Example:
emulator -list-avds
Pixel_XL_API_29
emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_29 -wipe-data
I've installed BlueStack emulator and run it, after that I've run eclipse but when I switched DDMS perspective there are no running emulator on device window. I try to use adb connect 127.0.0.1 command in adb util, but get the same result. What can be wrong?
But in my case when i restart my System after first time installation...its works nice...
