Android Studio 3.1.2 - Turn VCS OFF

I recently did an Update of my Android Studio to version 3.1.2.
Apparently somewhere along the line an Update caused my VCS to turn ON.
I don't need this and it is causing me headaches when I try to build my Signed APK.

I have followed the advice on a variety of Stackoverflow postings, but none of them have worked. Some of them appeared to work temporarily, but when I did a restart of AS and opened up a previous Project, I find GIT set ON again.

When I go to File → Settings → Version Control I can highlight my Directory and then Edit it to change it from GIT to None. I then did an APPLY. And it seems to work, but when I go back in it has set itself back to GIT.

I even found the VCS.XML file in my .ideas directory and edited it to remove GIT, only to have it reverts itself to 'on' when restarting Android Studio.

How can I, in version 3.1.2, turn OFF the VCS for good?

In your application folder, remove:

  • the vcs.xml file in the .idea folder
  • the .git folder
