How can I remove Android Studio Last Opened Project Record

Issue

I want to remove the last opened project record from Android Studio, such that I can reach the normal welcome screen of Android Studio.

As my last opened project will cause complete hang to Android Studio, therefore I can't access to the Menu Appearance & Behavior -> System Setting disabling the reopen last project on startup.

Also, I didn't enable the command line launcher, open another project by command line cannot be done.

Please kindly assist.

Many Thanks!

Solution

Since your android studio is crashed, and you can't do this from:

File >> Settings >> Appearance & Behaviour >> System Settings >> Reopen last project on startup checkbox

For Windows, you can edit below file:

[SYSDRIVE]:\Users[USER-NAME]\.AndroidStudioX.X\config\options\ide.general.xml

Example:

C:\Users\JohnDoe\.AndroidStudio3.3\config\options\ide.general.xml

Then add below option to it:

<option name="reopenLastProject" value="false" />

Edit as advised by @Frank Fung from comments For MAC

~\Library\Preferences\AndroidStudioX.X/options/ide.general.xml

And the reopenLastProject options should add into the section of

<component name="GeneralSettings">
