sdk tools directory is missing, Android Studio wont run

I downloaded the latest version of android studio. It installed however when I run I get two lines...

"Android SDK was installed to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Android\sdk SDK tools directory is missing"

Then I click finish and it closes, every time I run this happens.

Please help

I made some progress, I clicked 'x' instead of finish and it let me start android studio. so I can now go into configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure and in here it lets me specify the sdk folder, only the sdk folder is not where it says it is in the text above...there is no 'AppData' folder in 'Users'.

So any ideas where else the sdk folder could be? Or any other ways to fix this?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of Android Studio into somewhere where you have at least 5gb of space.

I did this but no luck.
