I didn't move any file after installation. But I think the issue was related to the location of "my desktop" folder (windows)... I moved that folder a year ago and AndroidStudio installation was using it to store some of the problematic files.

But I dont have the problem anymore, I downloaded the lastest android studio version from their website and followed a step by step guide to install it on my pc. I had to create additional variables to be able to change the default location of some files. (.android .gradle , etc)
