Minimal SDK Requirements for Unity Android Developement (Android SDK & JDK)

Recently I have been having low disk problems with my PC. I decided to remove a lot of unneeded files from the JDK & Android SDK (like the docs, why do you even need this even though you use Unity? :P) and it seems it saved me A LOT of space. My game still builds fine though. Here's a list of what I removed:

- Docs (Android SDK, 1.02GB (wtf))
- Docs (JDK)
- Emulator stuff (Android SDK)
- Source codes of some stuff (JDK & Android SDK)
- Google extras (Android SDK)
- Optional Support & Extras (Android SDK)
- I forgot others... :P

The Android SDK was maybe 2GB before I cleaned it up. Here's what's its size after I cleaned it up:

Mind. Blown.

Now the final size of these two are only 484MB. After I compressed JDK & Android SDK with 7-Zip, it's only 144MB.
I hope this saves your download time a lot!
