Need to manually delete a project from App Explorer

Question

I deleted the .project file off the filesystem permanently and need to remove the subsequent project from the Aptana App Explorer so that I can re-create it with the same name. The option to "Delete Project" isn't there, so it is just sitting in there even though the local directory is empty. I need this to be gone, what is the brute force method to get this thing out of there?

Answer 1

You will need to open/switch to the Project Explorer view (or the Navigator view), locate your project (might be a closed one) and delete it from there.

To open the Project Explorer, you can click 'Window -> Show View' and select it.

For those still struggling to find the answer to this issue, the following procedure worked for me:

Make sure that the Project Explorer tab is visible. If not, choose Window -> Show View -> Other... and then expand the General group and click on Project Explorer. Click OK.

Within the Project Explorer tab, collapse the Local Filesystem group and then right-click any empty area with that window and choose Refresh.

When prompted to remove the orphaned project, choose OK.
