Project already contains module with this name -- Android Studio

Question

I had successfully imported a Module in my Application project in Android Studio. Then I deleted or removed the module by following the below link:

How to delete a module in Android Studio

I also removed the project module from the dependencies of my build.gradle(app) file.

Now, When I need to again include the same module project in my Andorid Application, it doesn't allows me, and gives the Project already contains module with the same name error.

I had check in my Project, Package, Android Structure but the project module which i need to Import and add as a Module Project is not there but still it say it already exist.

Can anyone help me to overcome this issue.??

Answer 1

If somebody faces this issue, except removing the Folder containing the old module also remove from the settings.gradle file the line corresponding to the old module: include ':youroldmodule'. If you dont remove that line manually, 2 modules with the same name will appear when trying to add module dependency.

Answer 2

Switch to the Project View. Then open .idea/modules.xml. Find and delete the line that corresponds to the module. Then Invalidate Caches and Restart. That's it.

Answer 3

I solved the problem through this way:

1. Open Module Settings(Mac: command + down; Windows: F4) and delete the module.
2. Delete the module folder on the disk. You will find it at ~/AndroidStdioProjects/YourApplicationName/ModuleName.
3. Import the Module.
