Deleting Project from Workspace

Question

I am attempting to delete an Android project from my Eclipse workspace. However, when I try to delete it, I run into an error: Problems encountered while deleting resources - org.eclipse.core.resources. Examining the error gives me: Could not delete 'filepath'. - org.eclipse.core.resources as well as an Internal Error - org.eclipse.ltk.ui.refactoring.

Here's the error logs

Could not delete 'filepath'.

Answer 1

there seems to be a program that is being used by the application therefor u can not be run cleaning.i suggest u try to close all running applications, close the Eclipse and end task adb.exe in task manager and then run eclipse again and then do cleaning again.

Answer 2

Restart your machine after that don't run anything. Just open eclipse and delete the project.

Answer 3

Do a File/Refresh on the project first. Eclipse caches the folder/file structure and does not re-read it until told so.

Answer 4

You probably have the files from that project opened currently. close them all in the active window and then try deleting.
