Can't update \tools - Android SDK Command Line Tools for Windows

Tags:

android-sdk-manager

I have just downloaded the Android SDK Command Line tools for Windows (26.0.2). I am attempting to download selected SDK components using \tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat, as well as updating \tools. The installation fails with the following message:

Warning: An error occurred during installation: Failed to move away or delete existing target file: C:\testinstall\sdk\tools Move it away manually and try again..

I don't see how I can remove \tools manually because it contains \bin\sdkmanager.bat.

Screenshot of the sdkmanager command:

All other components appear to install without error. See below for the components specified in my package file:

In your browser on the PC, open the Android SDK download page and click Download the SDK Tools ADT Bundle for Windows. On the Get the Android SDK page, you can select either 32-bit or 64-bit, according to your Windows platform. This download includes the SDK tools and the Eclipse IDE.

How do I fix Android SDK is missing or corrupted?

Quick fix: Go to the Tools –> SDK manager –> SDK tools. Deselect Hide obsolete packages option on the right bottom and further install Android SDK Tools(obsolete). A new folder named Tools is now generated in the SDK directory.

Yeah that's quite funny. A way to do that is to copy the tools folder to another place (let's say C:\temp\). Then direct into the C:\temp\tools\bin\, open the cmd prompt there and run your update commands as such:

sdkmanager.bat --sdk_root=sdkRootPath --command

Where sdkRootPath is path to your original SDK folder (C:\testinstall\sdk\). Once that is done, delete the C:\temp\tools\ copied folder.
