6.6.9 Deleting a Project

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:
    1. The project file from the computer - some source files will remain.
    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. The 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.
