Reduce Android Studio Project Size

Question

I want to reduce Android Studio project size to save it for after use

In MS Visual Studio, we can delete *.ipch, *.sdf and Debug files to reduce the project size

Answer 1

The file .gitignore containted in the project created by AndroidStudio lists all files / patterns not to be stored in the git repository, i.e. those files that are not required for building the project. Therefore, it should be safe to remove all files / directories matching the patterns listed in the .gitignore file.

In my projects it lists:

*.iml
.gradle
/local.properties
/.idea/workspace.xml
/.idea/libraries
.DS_Store
/build
/captures
.externalNativeBuild
