You can reset settings for eclipse by deleting .metadata folder from your current workspace.

This will however remove all projects from your project explorer NOT workspace. So dont worry your projects have not gone anywhere.

You can import projects from your workspace like this : just make sure that you uncheck "Copy project into workspace".
