A project with that name already exists in the workspace eclipse

Question

I'm new to Eclipse/Java/Android

I have already created this project, but I wanted to start over.

1. deleted the HelloAndroid folder from my workspace folder
2. restarted Eclipse
3. now I can't create a project with the same name, because Finish is greyed out, and it gives me the following message: A project with that name already exists in the workspace eclipse

How can I completely delete my old HellowAndroid project from Eclipse?

Answer 1

You need to open up the Project Explorer view (it may already be open) and delete the project from within there.

Answer 2

Window => Show View => Project Explorer

Just delete your project from there and you will get be able to create or import project with same name again :)
