Cannot delete target directory after removing Maven nature of project

Question

I decided not to use maven in my project. So, I right-clicked it in Eclipse and then "Remove maven nature". Everything seems to be ok, but I cannot remove the target directory. If I delete it from within Eclipse it's just created again, if I delete it from Explorer the result is the same, as soon as I clean my project from Eclipse it's just created again.

Where am I wrong?

Thanks in advance.

To disable & remove Maven target directory

1. Right click on the project -select Maven->Disable Dependency Management.
2. Right click on project - select Build Path-> Configure Build Path -> Source Tab. Untick "Allow output folder for source folders"
3. Now type "Your Project Name"/bin eg. TestProject/bin, in the Default Output Folder field to point to default.
4. Now click ok and delete the target directory.
