How to delete a 'dead' remote project in Eclipse

I have a remote project in Eclipse which was created through RSE's 'Create Remote Project' function. Now I changed hosting service and there's no option to connect to former host. When I try to delete this remote project Eclipse asks me for former host's login and password which if entered are not recognized anyway.

How can I delete the project?

Note: My workspace folder contains 'RemoteSystemsTempFiles' folder and there are no files related to this project there.

Finally found it. I did the following:

  • deleted relevant folder in workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/
  • relaunched Eclipse
  • the project was still there but Eclipse let me 'legally' delete it with right-click

The answer is to brows to workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.rse.core\profiles\PRF.${hostname}

Then delete the directory with the name H.${profilename}
