Three things you could adjust in C:\Program Files\MIT App Inventor\extras\App_Inventor.avd\config.ini:

  1. Change disk.dataPartition.size to be something smaller like 100 MB. The data disk needs 2x the actual amount specified here because there is a base image then QEMU has a copy on write mirror.
  2. Change fastboot.forceColdBoot to yes and fastboot.forceFastBoot to no. This will prevent saving the RAM snapshot to memory on shutdown, which should save 1.5 GB or so.
  3. Adjust sdcard.size to be something smaller and/or set hw.sdCard to no.

You could also try adjusting hw.ramSize down but that may have unintended consequences.
