I created some dummy projects. Now I don't see any way to delete the projects that I don't want. Per this suggestion I can delete files, the project is going away but there is traces of it still available. For example, on the Recent Projects you can still see the name of the project you just deleted. So I am thinking there should be another (and really easy way) to delete a project.
Press the Del (or fn and delete) key to delete a project from the Recent Projects list.
Vote for this issue to make it more obvious and user friendly.
close project first, or until this dialog appear, then hover your mouse on project you want to delete from history, then press Del
you'll be asked for confirmation
On occasion, even with deletion of the project, some tidbits are left behind in the following Windows paths:
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compiler
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compile-server
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\frameworks\detection
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\conversion
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\componentVersions
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\tasks
This has been proven to be problematic - for example, if a new project is created using a previously deleted project name, it will create the project with data stored in the above paths, at least, this has been my experience.
The only way to TRULY delete the project is to get rid of all the garbage left behind in the aforementioned folders. I would suggest using Search Everything to find more tidbits left in the users temp folders.
In case your project is imported as a module, you can also go to File --> Project Structure and click 'Modules' in the left section. Now you can hit the minus button to remote the module from the project.
You can also click File -> Open project ...
When a file menu appears, you can right click the unwanted project folder and select Delete.
Just figured, I am using Idea Community edition 13.1.1 and the cleanest and easiest way is to go to File > Reopen project > Clear List. I just stumbled upon this menu today. I always thought that is just to clear the latest projects from the view inside the IDE and just realized it is clearing the projects from the main Dialog too.

Also, in IDEA 13.x.x you can go File-> Close Project and you'll land in the window with Recent Projects tab. There pressing Del of Fn + Del on selected project helps .
On OSX Mountain Lion and IDEA 14, with the project open and focused, you can go to file -> close project, then delete the project from your filesystem. This removed all references to the project.
Note that if the project you are deleting is the only project open, closing it will show the welcome dialog, which will still show the project. Deleting the project manually from within your operating system is the next step, and the project will still appear in the welcome dialog until it is closed and shown again, usually by opening another project from the list, or quitting and restarting IDEA.
In my case, I had to delete home/.IntelliJIdea2017.2/config/options/recentProjects.xml
. In my file system (Ubuntu) this file appeared for some weird reason not writable and hold a list of projects I couldn't get rid of. Deleting this file and restarting will force Intellij IDEA to create a new one with an empty list of projects.
All you have to do is go to file - close project - to avoid seeing them again in the menu list and then you delete them from the projects directory.

When editing a CSV file in PhpStorm, I enabled "Edit as Table" and can not find how to close this mode. I do not know how to close the "Data" tab.
Help me please!
Linux Mint, Phpstorm v.2018.1.6
The "Edit as Table" creates a split pane. Assuming you dont have any other panes open, you can close them all by:
ctrl+shift+a
Search for Unsplit all
Ta-da
While still destructive (if you use multiple panes), it doesnt go full scorched earth policy like #jocull recommends.
I had a similar issue in WebStorm and reached this thread. After painful searching I found these buttons to toggle between views in the bottom left:
I looked all over but couldn't find a way to do this. In the end it was bugging me so much that I just dropped the Jetbrains/IntelliJ project files and recreated them. This is a very heavy hammer for this problem.
If you have a Git repository this is usually as simple as...
Close your project if it is open
git clean -idx and select the project files to remove (carefully, if you have stuff you don't want to clean out! this deletes things!)
Reopen the project and let it regenerate the project files from scratch
Tada! No more table editor mode. You may lose debugging profiles or other project specific settings, and YYMV :)
I open a project, but want to create a module to reference in WebStorm, (mostly so I can do work in 2 projects instead of having 2+ instance of WebStorm open).
In IntelliJ Ultimate or whatnot, it has a modules button. It Kinda looks like modules does not exist for me, or at least I have not see anything.
I have 2 folders which are siblings to each other representing the 2 separate projects I wanted to open in 1 instance of WebStorm.
Where can I find this information for WebStorm?
A lot of the googling was talking about modules but I didn't see that option, and I believe I noticed some posts mentioning this is not a thing in WebStorm.
Thoughts? Guidance?
WebStorm/PhpStorm project consists of a single module only (WEB_MODULE type).
WebStorm cannot open more than one project in single frame. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-7968 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
At the same time it's possible in PhpStorm: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/opening-multiple-projects.html#d197136e31
But it's still will not be full "two separate projects with separate settings" AFAIK. It's more of a "attaching 2nd project so you can see and edit those files in the same frame".
Question is: why exactly you need this? To access files of a second project? If so -- just add such folder(s) as Additional Content Root -- it will be listed as another node in the Project View panel and files will be treated as part of the project itself.
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/configuring-content-roots.html
in Webstrom 2019.2 is it now avilable to open attached project to the current project.
Open multiple projects in one window
When you have a project opened in WebStorm and want to open another one, you can now attach this second project to the opened one, so that you can see both of them in the same IDE window. If you want to close the attached project, right-click its root in the Project view and select Remove from Project View.

I'm sure there is a simple option for this but I have as yet been unable to find it. Every time I close and reopen Aptana Studio 3 it collapses all the folders in the project explorer and I have to reopen them all, is there a way to get it to leave them open and save the project explorer's state when I close the program?
Thanks.
I cannot find any way to keep the state of the Project Explorer. However, using the App Explorer, the state of your open folder will be preserved. You can also try the "Navigator" which looks just like the Project Explorer, but appears to keep state. I will add the proviso to that: It kept state when I restarted aptana, but it also developed a GUI glitch where it appears to be scrolled to the right so I only see the right half of all of my file names and I cannot fix it, so this may not be a good option if you get the same glitch.
There is also a method which does not do quite what you ask, but may be a good fix for you anyway. If you click "Link with Editor" picture (two yellow arrows) in the Project Editor, it will automatically expand your project hierarchy to match whichever open file you have active. Since your files stay open when you close Aptana, this would keep the Project Explorer expanded to whatever you are looking at even on restart. See this question
You can also set up working sets for various parts of your code that are buried in the hierarchy and use the Project Explorer to show those working sets instead of you projects. This does not save state, but it does give you easy access to common parts of your code that may be deeply buried.
Hope one of these helps you.
Is there a way in IntelliJ IDEA to delete previously used projects? I am referring to a list on the main page when the application starts. Please look at the image.
File -> Open Recent -> Clear List
Edit: For versions of 2016+ this is no longer available. Use This solution: File -> Open Recent -> Manage Recent Projects / Startup Dialog, ctrl+a (select multiple with ctrl+click) -> del
File -> Open Recent -> Manage Projects .... CTRL-A then Delete to remove all, or hit the X to remove individual.
IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.5
Locate config\options\other.xml file and manually edit the list of recent projects inside the XML under <component name="RecentProjectsManager"> node.
There is no way to remove individual projects from the UI. See Dan's reply otherwise.
In IntelliJ15, you can remove them from welcome screen, works ctrl+a and then remove all of them.
In MAC, ~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC14/options/recentProjects.xml is the file to easily edit the list when you do not want to lose everything. (It is for IdeaIC14).
In idea 2022 for MAC it is located under ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2022.3/options
In Idea 2019 it is located in Idea Colder\config\options\recentProjects.xml

Close all projects till you reach the welcome screen. Right click on the project and choose Remove Selected from Welcome Screen. Or click on the cross arrow on the upper right corner of the selected project.
idea22 on windows10 system, recent projects on the path C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2022.3\options\recentProjects.xml, I delete all the <entry><\entry> labels
I have just upgraded to the new Xcode 4 and the code is not colored has it should be.
I am trying to use a project that I created on Xcode 3.
For instance, the string 'NSString' is not colored in my custom code, but when I switch to Apple's code (NSString.h for ex.) everything is well colored.
How can I fix that?
Thanks a lot,
Martin
Open the Organizer (Window > Organizer) and select the Projects mode. Select your project in the left-hand view and then click the Delete… button for the project's Derived Data.
This will delete the code sense index for the project and force Xcode to rebuild the index, which should fix the problem.
I got it to work by prefixing all my project search paths with "$(SOURCE_ROOT)/" instead of just using a project relative path. Eg "Include" becomes "$(SOURCE_ROOT)/Include".
Do this and then force a rebuild of the index by deleting the projects derived data from the organizer.
After trying most, if not all, of the steps above, I have succeeded in restoring my colorful Xcode eye candy by finding and deleting (in Finder) all of the derived data created from my project (there were several folders for my project that were lingering even after deletion from the Window > Organizer menu).
My project's folders that needed deletion were located in ~Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Also try this, select all(command + A) from your Prefix.pch file -> cut it(command + X) -> Build(command + B)(don't worry for error) -> paste(whatever you copy from Prefic.pch file in that file only)(commmand + V) -> Build again (command + B).
Try Product -> Clean and then Product -> Build
Remove the files from your project (just remove, don't delete them!) and re-import them.
Its possible that the permissions on the folder where Xcode stores the code-sense cache is broken. If the cache cannot be correctly written or read when you launch Xcode, it will behave as you describe.
Try locating the folder (you can locate it in the organizer. Hit the arrow next to the path.) and reset its permissions in the Get Info dialog.
There is another cause for this issue, it had been happening to me with beta versions of Xcode, you need to check that the .m file is added to the target in order to make it add color to the classes and enable the autocompletion.
You can check it out in the Xcode inspector
Hope this helps,
best regards,
Jorge.
