Kivy, android and buildozer take up 32GB disk space. Can I reduce that?

[Henrik R.]

Hi!

In order to create Kivy apps and compile them for Android mobile phones I have installed buildozer etc. on my Ubuntu linux laptop. But it takes up 32 GB in my Home directory:

.android  - 21 GB

Android   -  8.1 GB

.buildozer - 5 GB

On top of that, each app has it's own directory with 1.4 GB of .buildozer.

Is there any way of reducing this somewhat? :-)

Whatever the 'Android' directory is, I suspect (because I don't have one), it is not related to Buildozer's operation

And my '.android' is tiny in comparison:

~>du -sh .android .buildozer
1.8M    .android
9.8G    .buildozer

So that is almost 30GB due to some other tool (Android Studio?), can't help you with that.

My ~/.buildozer is bigger because I have lots of SDK versions, which is not typical.

To reclaim project disk space  'cd <project>'  and 'buildozer appclean' , to loose it again 'buildozer android debug' 

On a clear disk you can seek forever.

Yes. I also have Android Studio. I forgot to mention that.

Is that why my .android is 21 GB and yours 1.8 MB?

Probably
