I don't have any android device so I need to use the AVD to test my app.
Unfortunately, and I can't understand why, the emulator doesn't stop to take all the space in my hard drive while I'm running the app (keep writing all the time and get all space). Now I have less than 2 GB of free disk space, and even if I delete all devices from AVD I can't get a lot of space back.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Need to unistall android studio?
UPDATE
Today I was able to free enough space to have 3 GB free space disk, so a created a new emulator and by lunch time I left my desk with the AVD emulator open and 2 GB free space disk. One hour later I came back and only have 500 KB left at my HD. I was testing an app with not even one writing task and he was on background state during my lunch time. Have no idea what to do.
To run an emulator that uses an AVD, click Launch . To stop a running emulator, click Menu and select Stop. To clear the data for an emulator, select Wipe Data.
o Depending on your computer specs, the recommended ram size is in the range between 512 MB – 1024 MB. Although you can give more ram to the emulator but an actual android device would normally have 512 MB – 1024 MB for ram only.
Do not delete anything from avd folder ! If you do not know on which hard drive is stored your AVD files, go to Tools->AVD Manager Choose your emulator and in it's drop-down list press the Show on Disc button. It will take you to that hard drive, then just free up some space.

The ppl who suffering from AVG drain the memory and utilize 100% disk may find this helps.. try uncheck these settings January 16, 2019 Like 0 Dislike 0 Balasubramanian S (Avast) Hi Madu, The options that you refer here are highly recommended to be enabled for the protection of your PC.
"There is not enough space on the disk to complete this operation create partition." This error occurs when you delete partition and get free space instead of unallocated space. In that case, you need to delete free space and create partition with unallocated space. Besides, you can create partition with a partition manager.
Look for
c:/users/username/.android/.avd
(Where username is the name of your windows user account.)
folder. If you are creating avd over and over data of avd or deleted avd still exists at this location.
What is the size on disk of your AVDs?
Did you try to show on disk or wipe data?
What about their configuration?
You can try SpaceSniffer to see where is your storage going.
Delete Emulator’s Temp Files
temp folder which located in this directory C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\AndroidEmulator .
Delete Old Version Android Studio
It isn't normal to your AVD taking up space, because they're empty. So...it's the application you're developing doing some write task? Maybe is the Android updating itself?
