A project with that name already exists in the workspace eclipse

I'm new to Eclipse/Java/Android

I have already created this project, but I wanted to start over.

  1. deleted the HelloAndroid folder from my workspace folder
  2. restarted Eclipse
  3. now I can't create a project with the same name, because Finish is greyed out, and it gives me the following message: A project with that name already exists in the workspace eclipse

How can I completely delete my old HellowAndroid project from Eclipse?

If you cannot find the project on Project Explore, It can be found here:

Window => Show View => Navigator

This usually happens when user delete the folder by not using the eclispe.

Window => Show View => Project Explorer

Just delete your project from there and you will get be able to create or import project with same name again :)

You need to open up the Project Explorer view (it may already be open) and delete the project from within there.
