Description _ wadechandler 2008-03-29 15:55:51 UTC 
I had a project, and I messed up the codebase name. I decided I would delete the project and create it again. I didn't
use the IDE to delete the project, but instead just used my file browser. I then went to create it again in NB. This is
an NB module project. When I clicked finish the IDE gave an error message that the folder name of the project already
existed or was already in the MasterFileObject (or something similar), and then would not finish. It seems the IDE and
project support must keep file references in memory, and instead of checking the disk before giving the error it looked
in some cached information. Probably on a specific user action such as this the file system should be touched versus
relying on any cached information...if that is the case.

Generally we do not support project deletion except via the Delete menu item in the IDE. If you do it yourself, an IDE
restart will in general be needed.
