Is there a way to rollback an Android Studio update?

As a student learning Android programming, the newest update to Android Studio 1.4 has been a total cluster****. There have been a number of new files added to the project you get from using all the defaults. Deleting any of these files, or deleting any of the values in some of these files, results in a slew of errors in the Android Manifest file. I would really like to avoid dealing with all this, so here's my question:

Is there a way to rollback an update in Android Studio 1.4? I'm guessing the answer is no. A search of the web showed a few promising hits, but these were all for releases in the 0.* range. And developer.android.com is silent on the issue.

If the answer is no, am I screwed if I don't have an installer from before this update? Or should I just ignore the files for now and not delete any lines of code in these files I am not using. Just starting out in this, I understood quite clearly the files that USED to be generated by the default project settings. All these new files they just tossed in? I'm clueless (for now).

Can I downgrade my Android Studio version?

Currently there is no direct way with which a downgrade can be done. I managed to do the downgrade by downloading Android Studio 3.0. 1 from here and then running the installer. It will prompt whether to uninstall previous version, and when you allow and proceed, it will remove 3.1 and install 3.0.

What is Android rollback?

Introduction. RollbackManager is a system service added in Android Q to support mainline updatability efforts. RollbackManager adds support for rolling back an APK or APEX update to the previous version installed on the device, and reverting any APK or APEX data to the state it was in at the time of install.
