--remove, -rm

Part of the Command Reference.

asd --remove <name>
asd -rm <name>

Deletes an installed component’s directory under $ANDROID_HOME.

Arguments

• name (required) — the package path to remove, matched exactly or as a ;-prefixed group against entries in the registry.

Examples

asd --remove ndk
asd -rm build-tools

What it does

Looks up every registry entry whose path matches name, then deletes the corresponding directory under $ANDROID_HOME for each one that’s actually present on disk. This means asd --remove ndk removes every installed NDK version, not just one — remove a specific version with --fix’s pattern in reverse if you only want one version gone (delete the specific $ANDROID_HOME/ndk/<version> directory yourself).

Removing requires the registry (to resolve name to a path), so it will trigger a registry download on first use just like install.

Errors

Error: No packages matching 'foo' found in registry.
Error: No installed components found for 'ndk'.
