How do I _completely_ delete a Project? [message #52043]

I follow the directions in the Help. Simple enough to delete a
project. No errors reported.

When I try to create a new project that uses the same Project Contents
Directory as the deleted project, I get the following error message
from the PHP Project dialog:

C:\htdocs\catalog overlaps the location of another project: 'catalog'

Clearly I haven't deleted the old project completely. What else needs
to be done? Where is this being remembered?

TIA,
Ned

IT should be simple. Right click, delete, "Also delete contents". However
this works for me.

If You do not delete contents, Eclipse does not delete this on your HDD but
removes Your project from your workspace. Thats not a PDT specific
behaviour. However. You can recreate this project from HDD by creating a
simple project (General-Simple projet) at the same folder.

If it says something about overlapped folders You are trying to create
something like:

ProjectA: /my/project
ProjectB: /my/project or /my/project/anotherProject

Eclipse does not allow this. Neither Java Developement (JDT) nor PDT. Ensure
Your old project is removed from workspace correctly. and does not show up
any more. You may have to deselect working sets.
