Android Studio SDK download location

Question

Ok, so my questions not really about programming, but it concerns Android Studio so I thought I'd get help from here. Does anyone know where Android Studio initially downloads SDKs? I don't have a very powerful setup, when I downloaded Android Studio I only had about 30gb in my C:Drive and 70gb in D: Drive. When I opened Android Studio the first thing I did was, ofc, download the SDKs that I needed. I set the SDK location to D:/sdk Drive. The problem with that was when it was downloading, I was doing idle stuff, the computer suddenly prompted me that it nearly had no space left. I opened My Computer and saw that C: only had 1gb left. Which was stupid! I chose D: as my SDK location. Now since this couldn't be, and my computer was lagging like hell because of this, I had to uninstall Android Studio, but now the new problem is that I got "some" memory back, but only 9gb! I literally lost 20gb of memory without knowing where it went. My guess is that it's from those uninstalled, undeleted SDKs, or something. Correct me if I'm wrong? I wanna know if there's a way for me to find those unwanted data. I still plan on reInstalling Android Studio but maybe another time.

In Windows OS, you can find them in the following addresses:

%temp%\PackageOperationXX

Or

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\PackageOperationXX

like:

%temp%\PackageOperation01
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\PackageOperation01

I found it. Altho thumbs up to Matthias Wenz, since he pointed me to the right direction. It's in "AppData\local\temp" if anyone's lookign for them too.

General answer if you still have Android Studio installed You can check the download location of the Android SDK from Android Studio in case you have it installed ( Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK ).

In my case on a Windows machine it was C:\Users\$user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk – so you might have a look in this folder.
