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.
