I have installed a plugin which now crashes my Android Studio on start. Does someone know where Android Studio stores its downloaded plugin files, so I can delete it manually?

Android Studio plugin directories are /Applications/Android Studio.app/plugins and ~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioPreview(hidden). Perhaps if you find and delete the bad plugin folder Android Studio will be able to be started correctly.

  • Ah, the ~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioPreview folder did the trick. Plugins are stored there as own folders. I was looking at the wrong place under /Library/Application Support/ Now AS starts again, thanks. – JimVanB May 08 '14 at 09:25

~/Library/Application Support/<PRODUCT><VERSION>

Based on the official documentation:
