eclipse history

Right click an arbitrary existing project in Package Explore, choose "export..." - "Java" - "Runnable JAR file", I find all the old projects in the "launch configuration" list. Those projects have already been removed from the disk, and are not visible in the Package Explore. How can I remove them from that list? I'm using eclipse indigo.

This question seems to be well answered here, however, to make changes I have simply deleted every undesirable launch configuration from the below path.

${WORKSPACE}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches/Delete all the .class LAUNCH Files

After deleting the files, it is necessary to restart Eclipse for the changes to take effect.
