Process of deleting project I am using:

Selecting project -> right click -> select delete -> follow the wizards

Result: a fatal error occured while performing the refactoring found-problem client-target does not exist anymoreenter image description here

none of the above worked for me but this solution worked (was really a ghost project)

  1. Shut down Eclipse
  2. Open <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workingsets.xml
  3. Find the faulty tag and remove it
  4. Start Eclipse

VinyJones answer did not work for me, since there was no corresponding metadata for the non-existant project. The solution for me was to drag the non-existing project to an other working set. After dragging it disappeared.

You may try this :

  • Close your workspace :
  • Delete the dir client-target from <workspaceDir>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects
  • Open your workspace

And should be good
