How to increase storage of Android Emulator

I came across the INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error when I tried to install my app on the Android emulator. I found out that the storage of my Android emulator has run out.

I have tried to update the Internal Storage of AVD directly but it did not work for me.

Finally I figured out that I had to run the following command in the terminal to update the size of the storage of Android emulator.

emulator -avd your_AVD_name -partition-size size_in_MBs

In my case, I run it like this

emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_32 -partition-size 4096

You could find out the name of your AVDs by running this

emulator -list-avds

Hope it helps,
