I set up ANDROID_AVD_HOME env variable to change location of emulator images. After that I moved AVDs to new location. Running `emulator -list-avds` prints my AVDs and I can run them, but AVD Manager is still using old default location and shows nothing. AVD Manager also creates new AVDs in old location.

This issue also affects me. I'm able to see installed virtual devices using "emulator -list-avds". But android studio shows nothing. So new created Virtual Devices still installed to default/older path.

Please note the below could be wrong/invalid... but it seems to be valid for "avdmanager.bat" (unless of course I'm mistaken)

com.android.sdklib.tool.AvdManagerCli is calling:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/studio-master-dev/common/src/main/java/com/android/prefs/AndroidLocation.java

Any thoughts?

for completeness: if I set:

set ANDROID_AVD_HOME=c:\Data\Android\avd

with the "data\android" directory being the moved ".android" directory... avdmanager.bat works ok.
