Android Studio path to different directories

Question

Today I wanted to clean my SSD on which Windows is installed, and I found under C:\\Users\\SonneXo a folder (1.6 GB), which I wanted to change: .Android

Since Android Studio 1.4 you don't need to override system's idea.properties. You can create your idea.properties with only that overrides, that you need.

For me, it is:

idea.properties at %USERPROFILE%\.{FOLDER_NAME}\idea.properties

idea.config.path=d:/Android/AndroidStudio/config/
idea.system.path=d:/Android/AndroidStudio/system/

You can read full instruction by Google at http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/configuration

EDIT:
File idea.properties at %USERPROFILE%\.{FOLDER_NAME}\ is not created automaticcaly. You need to create it manually.
