Can you delete an IML file?

What is .IML file in Android Studio?

IML is a module file created by IntelliJ IDEA, an IDE used to develop Java applications. It stores information about a development module, which may be a Java, Plugin, Android, or Maven component; saves the module paths, dependencies, and other settings.

If your project is Gradle-based, then click the Sync Project with Gradle Files button enter image description here in the toolbar and it will regenerate all .iml files.

If you can't locate this button , then just look at right for Gradle tasks -> select task -> right click -> refresh external dependency will bring you back modules and iml file.
