I have multiple virtual devices, some of them can't be deleted.

Error message is

The android virtual device XXX is currently running in an emulator and cannot be deleted

when I just have restarted Ubuntu and only started Eclipse.

How do I remove a virtual machine from my Android phone?

From the Virtual tab of the Device Manager, you can perform the following operations on an existing AVD: To edit an AVD, click Edit this AVD and make your changes. To delete an AVD, click Menu and select Delete.

How do I disable a virtual device?

Since the virtualbox monitor does not always offer a shutdown option, you could also log in into the android device and type halt. then type halt at the prompt. This is safer than going to VirtualBox and "hard" shutting down. You can also use adb reboot to reboot the device instead.

In Linux/*nix and OSX:

  1. Find the .android folder in your $HOME directory.
  2. In .android there should be a avd folder
  3. In the avd folder should be one or multiple .ini file and a corresponding *.avd virtual device folder.
  4. Delete both the .ini file and the .avd folder you want to get rid of.
  5. Return to the Android sdk and AVD manager.

I hope this helps...

In the /home/.android/[your device].avd folder sometimes are left behind *.lock files. This can be because of unexpected emulator termination. AVDM doesn't deal with this. Deleting manually a device folder or overriding it solves the problem.

Before trying to delete a virtual device in AVDM. Remove all *.lock files from the corresponding /home/.android/[your device].avd fodlers. You will then be able to delete without the 'device XXX is currently running' popup.
