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?

In the File menu, select Delete Project. All project source code and data will be deleted after you confirm the deletion. You will not be able to recover deleted projects.
In Solution Explorer, select the project you want to remove. On the Edit menu, click Remove. On the confirmation dialog, click OK, to remove the project from the solution.
In Visual Studio, click View > Application Explorer to open the Application Explorer if it is not visible. Navigate to your project under the Visual Studio Projects folder. Right-click the project and select Delete.
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.
