Delete a project
How can I delete or permanently remove a project from the IDE? The way I am doing it right now is to go to the file system and delete its associate ipr and iws files, which is not an elegant way

why not? I do it that way too, nothing wrong with it since everything about a project is stored in there.
I'd have to agree with Hai here. I have 20-30 IDEA projects on my machine,
but only ever work on 3 or so at a time. I'm not ready to delete the old
projects, and I'd rather not have to sort through a list of long list of
projects in IDEA just to find the one I want.
I know that you can entirely wipe out the list of recent projects, so that
helps a little, but it might be nice (though admittedly low priority for me)
to have a simple way to manage the list.

about a project is stored in there.
sounds like a great idea for a plugin. Project manager plugin or something like that?
IDEA keeps a lot of project-related files in its system directory: caches, LVCS. It would be nice having some means to clean up that data automatically.
That's what I meant by "elegant". How do you know deleting those 2 files will completely remove the project and all the resources/garbages associated with that project from the system? Plug-in does not work either as that 's resource cleanup are not defined any where in the API. Must be a new feature for the IDE...
Fortunately IDEA sorts the projects by the last access date, so if you only work on a few and don't switch TOO often, you normally just have to pick your project from the first few ones listed.
In my opinion, this is absolutely reasonable behavior; I don't see any need for additional functionality here.
