How to remove a "dead" remote project in Eclipse

I have a remote project in Eclipse that was created through the RSE function "Create Remote Project". Now I changed the hosting, and there is no way to connect to the previous host. When I try to delete this remote project, Eclipse asks me for the previous username and password of the host, which, if not entered, will still not be recognized.

How can I delete a project?

Note. My workspace folder contains the "RemoteSystemsTempFiles" folder, and there are no files associated with this project.

Finally found it. I have done the following:

  • remote corresponding folder in workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/
  • restarted eclipse
  • the project was still there, but Eclipse allowed me to “legally” delete it with a right-click

You can check the "workspace / .metadata / .plugins" directory to find the data storage area of ​​the RSE plugin. It will probably have an xml file or something with a link to your project. Save it and delete the link. Hope this removes it from your view.

Sorry, I cannot be more specific, this is just an assumption that I cannot try explicitly.

Good luck, and as I said, back up the files you change ... just in case.

The answer is to throw in workspace.metadata.plugins \ org.eclipse.rse.core \ profiles \ PRF. $ {hostname}

Then delete the directory named H. $ {profilename}

With my Kepler setup, I found this subdir in a workspace that had a folder for each domain. I'm tired of obsolete

 <workspace path>/RemoteSystemsTempFiles/ABC.DOMAIN.COM

The solution that works for me is to hide the project:

Go to "Project Explorer> Customize View" and uncheck "RSE Internal Projects".
