How to remove project in PyCharm?

Question

If I'm closing a project and then just delete the project folder, after PyCharm restarts an empty project folder is created again.

Answer 1

Version 2017.2.1

1. Press Alt+1 to bring the project pane, and make sure you're in Project view (not Project Files view).
2. Select the desired project, and choose "Delete from project view" from the context menu (right click). You can also use Delete key.

Answer 2

Highlight the project with your mouse and hit the del key, which works for me.

Answer 3

I had the same issue. My solution was:

1. Close project.
2. Rename the folder you want to dissapear
3. Open pycharm project. A dialog will be shown asking if you want Pycharm remove the folder. Answer: yes.

That is enough.

Answer 4

Works for Windows and MacOS.

• File -- Open Recent -- Manage Projects
• Cliek X to delete from Recent Projects
• Delete local directory

2. menu bar Edit-> Remove from Project View.

Answer 6

Just follow these steps in order. They assume you currently have the project open in a PyCharm window:

1. Close your project by clicking on File -> Close Project
2. Locate your project in the PyCharm file directory
3. Delete your project's directory

I agree that PyCharm's handling of what should be a very simple procedure is crappy. Maybe this will be improved in the future?
