Answer 1

Just delete(preferably permanently) all the android directories in whatever location they are present(e.g. C:\Program Files\Android, C:\users\respective user\respective android folders). Remove the installer as well(if possible). Make sure to save all your Android Studio files in some external storage (preferably).

The main thing is to get Android studio with SDK.

Now go to the android studio website and install android studio leaving all settings default. There you will also get to install the SDK and it's linking.

It will take some time to load and will load nearly 1.5 GB files.

This worked for my case.
