How to undo "Do not ask again" when deleting configuration

I checked “Do not ask again”. But now I want to undo it. I want to be asked for confirmation when I try to delete a configuration. Not sure what the full name is, but I'm referring to the configurations where you define the working directory, environment variables, Python interpreter etc. Where can I re-enable to confirmation dialog? Thank you!

Hi William

From your description I believe you are trying to revert the confirmation behaviour of the configuration popup when deleting run configurations.

 

This behaviour is valid per project, so it only affects the current project but not new projects,

I cannot find any UI settings to restore this behaviour however it is possible to restore this by deleting the .idea (hidden) folder for this project.

 

To do this please 

  1. close the PyCharm IDE
  2. navigate in a terminal / windows explorer to your project root
  3. copy / backup .idea folder
  4. delete .idea folder in windows explorer (run rm -R .idea for linux/Mac)
  5. start the IDE and open the project 
  6. try to delete a configuration 
    1. You should get the confirmation popup again.

 

Please let me know if this works for you.

Kind regards,
