How do I move the Android SDK folder installed with Visual Studio 2017?

I've installed VS 2017 in its default path (C drive) but its used up most of my drive space due to the large Android folder at C:\Users\USERNAME\Local\Android. This folder was auto created by the VS 2017 installer. How do I move it to another drive and have VS detect it?

I've tried these solutions and they don't work with VS 2017.

I found the answer at last. Changing the ANDROID_SDK_HOME environment var had no effect. The only way is moving the folder by hand, and then changing the Android SDK path setting under Options > Xamarin > Android Settings.
