I was working on a C project for college and I wrote a bad loop that wrote a file which occupied all the space on the partition on which Eclipse was also installed. I deleted that file, but my computer failed to see the space so I thought of a restart. The space was so little that I couldn't save my project, nor Eclipse could save anything on exit.
I restarted the computer and indeed it saw the new free space, but Eclipse doesn't start. I tried to open it and it just show the startup thing and then gives me a blank little window that I can't close and Eclipse keeps running in the background, but I can't see it.
Is there anything I could do to make it run again without completely reinstalling it?

You can try to start eclipse with the -clean option. If it not helps you have to create a new workspace (you can reimport your projects from the old workspace via the menu point File->Import..)

Before you ask
- search this forum

Tried "-clean" and erasing all my visible data in the workspace. I've tried reinstalling eclipse again, by normal download, and also with apt-get. Then I found a folder .metadata in the workspace that I didn't delete. It worked after I deleted that folder.
