    I haven't used it myself but another option is to install Android x86 as a virtual machine.

    This option makes it simple to remove, with all the files being stored in the one directory, so you wont have the problem that Lu Tze had. Also you have much more control over the resources it uses.

    Try Genymotion, found it a lot better than Bluestacks: http://www.genymotion.com (it uses Virtual Box).
    You have to sign up for a (free) account though, drag and drop apks into the emulator while running to install apps.
