I'm running Rubymine 5.4.x on Windows 7 (but that shouldn't really matter for this question) and I have managed to delete projects and seemingly rename them before, but I am stuck this time.
.idea folder in your project directory.%USERPROFILE%\.RubyMine50\config)%USERPROFILE%\.RubyMine50\config).idea/<your_project_name>.iml fileBy deleting or modifying these files/folders I have managed to delete or rename the projects that appear in my "project list" in that startup screen/Create Project/Open Project Modal for RubyMine, and in the ReOpen Projects menu.
However, this time around I can't get the name of this particular project rename... that is it appears with the correct path in these lists, but the incorrect name.
Furthermore, the incorrect name appears in my Project ToolWindow once the IDE is launch, although directly to the right of it in parenthesis is the correct path.
Any thoughts? tia

Use the Alt+Shift+R shortcut to rename the file when it's highlighted in the project view panel. Generally, actions like rename is part of the Refactoring (because you also need to rename the usages of it) so you will also find it in the Refactor menu on top.
In the Project tool window, click Project and select Packages from the list. IntelliJ IDEA lists all the packages in your project. Right-click the package you want to rename and from the context menu, select Refactor | Rename ( Shift+F6 ).
To rename the project, simply right-click the project and select "Refactor/Rename...". Fill in the new name and click OK.
To rename a project edit .idea/.name file manually.
There is a feature request to add Rename Project action to a File menu, please vote.

Updated answer done on RubyMine 6.3.3 when I wanted to rename the project directory:
I found this to be easier than combining the steps listed on the question and the accepted answer
