Complete remove PyCharm project (was 'Fixing .md/PDF file setting')
While trying to make .md and PDF files appear as distinct files (instead of looking like a directory), I think I told PyCharm to interpret the PDF file as .md. So now instead of seeing a single file (with no extension) that looks like a directory containing two files, there are now *two* entries with the same name, both acting like directories that each contain the .md and PDF files. Can I undo this?
Alternatively (and in general, something I might need to do more of when I inevitably mess up other settings), how do I completely remove all the PyCharm configuration information for a project. I.e. completey remove the project, without affecting any of my actual files? I tried removing the .idea directory, but when I ran PyCharm again, the .md/PDF issue was still there.
Best regards,
Warren

Answering this part of the question myself: I just moved the files out of the directory, refreshed the PyCharm view, and then copied them back in, and it looks like I'm back to the default view i.e. the .md and PDF files are displayed as if they are in a subdirectory. (Changing that view is the subject of another question here.)

In addition to removing the .idea directories and .iml files, you can use `File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings...`. Before resetting settings the IDE will create a backup so that you can import them later.
Thanks!
