When I delete videos from the emulator, the disk weight doesn't go down and it's consuming space on my Mac, how can I clean up space?
“When I delete videos from the emulator, the disk weight doesn't go down and it's consuming space on my Mac, how can I clean up space?”
You can free space from Genymotion Desktop in Settings > Storage by clearing Caches and checking the Other (Media folder) usage. The total disk used by virtual devices is shown there too, and deleting files inside Android does not always shrink the host disk automatically.
In the Storage tab:
- Virtual devices: space used by active and inactive devices plus system images
- Caches: click CLEAR to remove cached Android images and temporary files
- Other: click OPEN to inspect the Media folder and remove files there if needed
If the space still does not drop, the virtual device disk itself may still keep the allocated size, so the biggest savings usually come from removing unused devices or clearing caches rather than deleting files inside the emulator.
What part is using the most space in your Storage tab: virtual devices, caches, or media files?
