Invalid Configuration Location

The configuration area at '/home/shuvro/android-sdk-linux/eclipse/configuration' is not writable. Please choose a writable location using the '-configuration' command line option

I am facing this error while trying to launch eclipse. How can I fix it? I have another question- How can I completely uninstall the Eclipse ADT bundle?

Had the same issue on my Windows machine. My C: drive was corrupted. It used to show error 0x80070570.

Its very easy to solve on windows, just right click the drive > properties > tools tab > under error checking click on the check button (give admin permissions) and reboot the system when asked.

I cme across this somewhere else on the web. This solved my issue instantly:

REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Desktop" /t REG_SZ /d "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" /f

I had the same problem using Eclipse and ADT on Windows. The solution was quite simple but hard to detect:

I ran the ADT update from within Eclipse and this downloaded several new Android system images to <ADT install Folder>\sdk\system-images More than 4 GB in total. This consumed all the free disk space and thus on next launch ADT could not write any more to <ADT install Folder>...

Not directly related to the question but still close enough to maybe be some help to others with the same problem...

You can set the correct rights for this folder, as I suggest it is not owned by your user.

On the other hand you can launch your eclipse with the '-configuration' parameter as suggested in the errormessage. Using this parameter you can use any folder on your system where you are able to write.
