AVD doesn't stop to consume disk space

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.

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.

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?
