IntelliJ showing entire path name instead of just the project name in Open Recent
已回答
After I reinstalled Windows and relocated all kinds of stuff, my IntelliJ now shows the entire path instead of just the project name in the "Open Recent" menu.
I got a somehow fresh installation of IntelliJ. How can I fix this problem? It looks like this:

Hello,
Possibly a known issue: IDEA-259316
What version of the IDE do you use?
I use the newest one.
I fixed it with making a full re-install tho. Delete all cache and stuff, then I was good.
It would be very very good if that issue gets fixed bc it's always a hassle to reset everything.
but thanks for the help anyway!
I was able to find a solution instead of clearing the cache. Hopefully it helps somebody else out there!
Go to your IntelliJ configuration folder (Windows), should be: C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdeaYYYY.V
Then go to the "options" folder and find the file recentProjects.xml.
For the projects showing the full path (probably due to moving project to a different path), there will be two block of <entry>. Look for your project name in this file, find the match with the old project name/folder, and delete that whole <entry> block. That's it :)
Yes, clearing the cache and editing/deleting the recentProject.xml file are both solid workarounds as the issue appears to be a one-off that is gone after the aforementioned manipulations.
