Removing Modules from a Project

On this page:

Introduction

You can remove unnecessary modules from your project. However, the files and folders that make up the corresponding modules are not physically deleted. Thus, the modules you have removed from a project can later be added to the same or a different project.

To remove a module, you can use the Project tool window or the Project Structure dialog.

    • Press Delete.
