Project Name appearing wrong in PhpStorm

Question

I took a coding course online and wanted to re-do my project to my own needs so I decided to copy the project files and amend / start anew what I needed. However in my IDE (PhpStorm) I still see the old name in brackets:

Can anyone please let me know from where I can amend it?

Answer 1

Right click on it and choose Refactor | Rename. Then choose Rename project in appeared popup. You can also use File | Rename Project... instead.

Alternatively, try deleting/editing PROJECT_ROOT/.idea/.name file (it's a plain text file with a single line of text). The IDE must be closed at that time of course (otherwise it will overwrite it with the current data when you close the project).

Other than that (if the above does not work for some strange reason): delete the whole .idea subfolder and create a new project from existing files (you would need to configure project from scratch though).
