For Windows 10 and more recent versions of IntelliJ, the Maven folder is located in AppData/Local, e.g.:

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3\Maven\Indices\UserArchetypes.xml

For 'Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS' and 'IntellJ IDEA 2020.2.2' the file is ~/.cache/JetBrains/IdeaIC2020.2/Maven/Indices/UserArchetypes.xml. I got a little bit crazy looking for ~/.IntelliJIdea10 or similar that do not exists, in my case.

Custom archetypes are located in the file UserArchetypes.xml. You can edit the file to delete the custom archetype.

The file can be found at

  • Linux ~/.IntelliJIdea10/system/Maven/Indices/UserArchetypes.xml
  • Mac ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea12/Maven/Indices/UserArchetypes.xml
  • Windows C:\Users\ \<user> \\.IdeaIC2017\system\Maven\Indices\UserArchetypes.xml
