To delete a project in MPLAB X IDE:
- 1.In the Projects window, right click on the project name and select
“Delete.”
- 2.In the “Delete Project” dialog, you can delete:
- 2.1.The project file from the computer
- some source files will remain.
- 2.2.The project file with all of the
source files (via check box).
The project is deleted so that MPLAB X IDE will no longer see it.
Note: MPLAB X IDE does not release all resources assigned to a project when it closes. MPLAB X
IDE runs on Java so releasing resources does not occur immediately. Under Java it is best
to let the JRE decide when to call the garbage collection (GC) within the software code.
However, you can force GC by enabling the memory toolbar and clicking on it.
