What are snapshots in Genymotion? explanation snapshots virtual device save state how they work
Snapshots are copies of a virtual device's state at a specific moment, allowing you to return to the exact point where the capture was taken. They occupy disk space and can accumulate if you make several.
Details and practical management:
- Purpose: save changes, system state, and data to easily return to that previous state if something fails.
- Space: each snapshot consumes disk space on the host; deleting unnecessary snapshots frees up that space.
- How to manage (generic):
- Open Genymotion Desktop and select the device.
- Access the snapshots section (or state management) and delete the snapshots you no longer need.
- If you need to save space immediately, delete old snapshots you don't use and consider deleting the device if you no longer need it.
Context notes:
- If you have doubts about freeing up space, also see Storage management and procedures for deleting data and caches in Genymotion Desktop. Release Notes — Storage management
- For a complete uninstallation and purge guide if you want to free up even more space, consult the purge article. How to uninstall Genymotion Desktop completely (purge)?
