On the back of this question, is there a way in IntelliJ to disable displaying the full .iml
module name [in bold and in square brackets] next to folder name when it is simply a fully qualified version of it? It is unnecessarily noisy on a big project...

To open the tool window again (and restore the associated features), use the main menu: View | Tool Windows | <Window Name> or press Alt+1 . Hide the tool window. This command opens the description of the Project tool window in the IntelliJ IDEA online help.
From the main menu, select File | Project Structure Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S . Under Project Settings, select Modules | Sources.
In the Project tool window, right-click a module, and select Load/Unload Modules. You can double-click a module in the dialog to load or unload it, or use the buttons in the middle of the dialog.
From the main menu, select a tool window under View | Tool Windows. Use the corresponding shortcut, for example, Alt+1 to open the Project tool window. If there is no shortcut for a tool window, you can assign it as described in Configure keyboard shortcuts.

As a newcomer to both IntelliJ and Maven, I also found the module names to be noisy. Perhaps I'll need them later, but for now I needed to be able to focus on the file directory structure and just needed them gone. Switching from "Project" to "Project Files" did the trick. The Project Files view has an option in its Options Menu to Show Modules that I was able to disable. Maven module information is no longer visible. It might not be the perfect long term solution, as I don't fully understand the difference in the views yet, but it did reduce the as-yet-unnecessary information I was being bombarded with.
