moving android SDK installation folder

I have installed my Android SDK in Program Files (x86). But due to some reason I want to move it to D:. I want to ask if I can do that without altering my current projects on eclipse and will I have to reinstall my ADT plugins??

Thanks in advance

Can I move Android SDK folder?

Is it possible to move these folders to an external hard drive? If it is possible what changes should I make in the android studio? Yep - Go into settings in android studio and you can select where you want the sdk to reside.

Where should Android SDK be located?

by default, the "Android Studio IDE" will be installed in " C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio ", and the "Android SDK" in " c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ".

Can we install Android Studio in other drive?

You will find two files: ProgramFilesDir and ProgramFilesDir (x86) Right click on the two names and click on Modify. Change the drive name from C to whatever drive you want to make the installations. Note that any and every software you install will get installed in the mentioned drive.

Just move the sdk folder to where you want it, and in Eclipse's preferences, point to the new SDK location (in the Android section). ADT should still work since its installed in another location. You will need to update your paths as well if you use some of the SDK tools from the command line.
