Where Does Andronix Store Linux Distributions?

Andronix keeps installed Linux distros as large image files in shared storage plus app settings.

Last updated

Andronix installs Linux distributions as image files in shared storage, alongside its app settings and scripts. Each distro image runs to gigabytes, dominating the app's footprint.

Files created inside Linux live inside those images, so rescue them with SSH, file sharing, or cloud tools before wiping. Uninstalling the app or deleting images by hand strands the rest. Manage distros through the app and treat the images as disposable containers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I free space from old distros?

Remove the distro through Andronix so it cleans up completely. The image files are gigabytes each, and manual deletion leaves the app confused about what remains.
