CLI solution for Linux/Mac users:

  1. List all installed packages:
sdkmanager --list

Installed packages:
  Path                                    | Version | Description                    | Location
  -------                                 | ------- | -------                        | -------
  cmdline-tools;latest                    | 11.0.0  | PLACEHOLDER                    | cmdline-tools/latest
  emulator                                | 29.3.4  | PLACEHOLDER                    | emulator
  patcher;v4                              | 1       | SDK Patch Applier v4           | patcher/v4
  platform-tools                          | 34.0.4  | PLACEHOLDER                    | platform-tools
  platforms;android-27                    | 3       | Android SDK Platform 27, rev 3 | platforms/android-27
  system-images;android-27;default;x86_64 | 1       | Intel x86_64 Atom System Image | system-images/android-27/default/x86_64
  1. Remove the desired packages, e.g.:
sudo sdkmanager --uninstall "system-images;android-27;default;x86_64

As a side note, there may be more than a single sdkmanager in the system, e.g., under:

  • /usr/bin/sdkmanager, and
  • /opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager

Depending on which sdkmanager you use, you may see different packages!

After selecting show hidden files option from windows explorer, go to the location where Android SDK is installed. Then open system-images folder. You will see a folder named as the api level same as jelly bean. Just remove that folder.

The Process is relatively simple and is as follows:

  1. Select the image from Android SDK Manager
  2. Remove the unnecessary system image by selecting the image and then clicking Delete package.
  3. Install your image of choice.
