How can I delete (and not simply close) a project in PHPStorm?
**Two Approaches for PHPSTORM 2018.3 Version **
A. Eternal Removal or Deletion from Hardware and Phpstorm IDE
Please visit the folder 'PhpstormProjects' and delete the project file manually. If you do so, you will see the folder disappear from Phpstorm explore window. This might be weird, but true.
B. Remove from the recent project panel of Phpstorm 2018.3 (The folder after such removal will hide and a creation of the same name of project will restore the removed from the recent project panel.)
1. Click File > Close project
2. From Recent projects, select project, press the fn(on normal keyboard - key between right Alt and Ctrl, not windows key)+Delete
