Completely uninstall Android Studio from Mac.

After downloading and installing Android Studio for Mac, I noticed my Mac started heating too quickly with the fan running at full speed, and there was also a performance issue.

So, I decided to uninstall Android Studio from Mac completely. I used the following command and documented it below if you want to perform the same process for uninstalling Android Studio from your Mac.

Open Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app and execute the following commands

rm -Rf /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/Google/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.android.*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.android.*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/.AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/.gradle
rm -Rf ~/.android
rm -Rf ~/Library/Android*
rm -Rf ~/.emulator_console_auth_token

If you want to delete all Android Studio Projects, use the below command

rm -Rf ~/AndroidStudioProjects

Reference: I referred to this page from Stack Overflow for help
