I have created a project in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5, but it is very difficult to delete it. The project manager in Eclipse is much better than IntelliJ IDEA.

Can anybody explain to me how to do it from IntelliJ IDEA?

To remove a project in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5, close IDEA and delete the project directory.

As @Sheidaei mentioned in the comments, this does not work for IntelliJ IDEA 12. For deleting projects in IntelliJ 12, see the question which Christian Junk kindly pointed out: How to delete projects in IntelliJ 12?
