IntelliJ IDEA load module error

I am in IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1.2. I recently renamed a module from mod_plus to exp-packs and now I keep getting the error: Error Loading Project: Cannot load module mod_plus

The old module does not exist. Under File-> Project Structure->Modules->Dependencies it does not show up, it was there, but I removed it when I first saw the error. It does not show up in the .iml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module type="PYTHON_MODULE" version="4">
  <component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="true">
    <exclude-output />
    <content url="file://$MODULE_DIR$" />
    <orderEntry type="inheritedJdk" />
    <orderEntry type="sourceFolder" forTests="false" />
    <orderEntry type="module" module-name="Pyhton-Snippets" />
    <orderEntry type="module" module-name="exp_packs" />
  </component>
</module>

In the event log, when I click 'Details' and it asks do I want to remove, I click YES and it is gone for that session, but on restart it comes back. Any thoughts on how to get rid of it?

IntelliJ IDEA loads modules according to .idea/modules.xml file which contains the relative paths to the .iml files.

If you rename a module in IntelliJ IDEA using refactoring, modules.xml file is updated automatically. In other cases you may need to update the path manually.
