The first thing you have to do is to know the architecture of your computer.

If you have a 32bit architecture, you have to have version 23 of "build-tools" installed, because it is in that version where the support for 32bit architecture ends.

You only delete the folder of version 24, and replace it with that of version 23.

The best thing to do is to do it from "Android Studio" and the "SDK Manager". You insure the process, since in my case I did not find the list of versions of "build-tools" to download. So I did it from "Android Studio".
