Eclipse project already exists

Eclipse project already exists

I deleted a project in my workspace, then tried to create a new project with the same name. Eclipse told me that it overlaps the location of another project (the one I just deleted). How do I fix this?

This is what I did. Go to Window --> Show View --> Project Explorer Then right click on the project name that you want to delete and Click Delete.

In the dialogue box, check 'Delete Project Contents on disk'

I had the same problem with the IBM Integration Toolkit, which is based on Eclipse. The problem also occurs in Android Studio, which is also based on Eclipse. crazyscot seems to have the right answer at A project with that name already exists in the workspace eclipseand his solution worked for me.

You need to open up the Project Explorer view (it may already be open) and delete the project from within there.

First you create a project in some other location with the same name of your project as before.

Now delete this project by right clicking on project > Delete. Do not check the dialog "Delete Project Contents on Disk". Now you move your newly created project through file manager to the original location(location where you are not able to import your project).

After deleting the project from Eclipse IDE(Project Explorer), remove it from work space folder as well. Workspace folder path - C:\Users\username\workspace (it can be different for your system).

You have to manually delete the project folder from your "workspace" directory (wherever you have defined it to be).

With the same problem, I did a text search and found an XML file containing the name of the project.

I had copied the project from another project. Let's say that I copied project A to project B. Although the XML file in the new project (B) was named for project B, it had an entry which still referred to project A. When I edited it, the problem went away.
