I also had the same error when upgrading from 3.5 to 3.6, I managed to solve this without losing any sdk platforms and virtual machines in avd by installing the latest version of android,First Export the settings and then delete the two folders ".AndroidStudio3.x" in home directory and the "android-studio" in /usr/local or /opt directory, then download the zip file of latest version of android studio and move the "android-studio" folder to /usr/local or /opt. Now run the /android-studio/bin/studio.sh and import the settings,Now Latest version will be installed.

I had a similar problem. What I did was to make sure of the whole folder's ownership. For some reason, some files where owned by root, so I changed it to my ownership. In linux you can use the followoing command on the Android Studio folder:

sudo chown yourusername:yourusername -R android-studio-folder

I just tried again and everything updated successfully. Hope it helps!

Answer 3

I had a similar problem on some other files and could not figure it out.

You should download the last Android Studio version and remove the old one.

Answer 4

There is a workaround, try deleting or moving the files that are causing the conflicts to another folder when the Update starts NOT BEFORE! That worked for me.

Answer 5

It appears like the only way to bypass this error and successfully update Android Studio is to uninstall and reinstall it.

• Before uninstalling, make a backup of your IDE settings through File | Export Settings.
• Download the "No SDK tools included" exe from the Other Downloads section. Avoid using download accelerators as they often mess up the downloads from https://dl.google.com .
• In the Install Wizard, you may uncheck to update AVD if you use Genymotion and don't need Google's Android emulator.
