[android-studio] How to delete a module in Android Studio

Is there a way to delete a module within Android Studio? When I right click on a module I can't find an option for deletion, is it elsewhere?

Remove from File > File Structure > Dependencies > - button. Then if it is stull there you can remove the module by going to the settings.gradle file and removing it from the include line.

In android-studio version 2. just go

Right Click on Project-->Open Module Option-->Click Your Module --> click sign done then press ok button.

Assuming the following:

• You are working with Android Studio 1.2.1 or 1.2.2 (I don't have the latest yet, will edit this again when I do).
• Your Project Tool Window is displaying one of the following views: "Project", "Packages", "Android" or "Project Files"

You can delete an Android Studio module as follows:

1. In the Project Tool Window click the module you want to delete.
2. Between the Tool Bar and the Project Tool Window the tool bar you will see two "chips" that represent the path to the selected module, similar to: your-project-name > selected-module-name
3. Right click on the selected-module-name chip. A context menu with multiple sections will appear. In the third section from the bottom there will be a section that contains "Reformat Code..", "Optimize Imports..." and "Delete".
4. Select "Delete" and follow any prompts.

I'm currently running the 0.5.8 version of Android Studio and I can't even find the "Mark folder as" option when I right click, what I do is:

Right click on project -> Click on Show in Explorer and then just delete it from there.

You can achieve the same result by deleting it directly through Windows Explorer. That's the only way I've been able to get rid of Projects I did not want anymore. Oh and of course, this also removes it from the hard disk.

Steps to follow Remove Modules in Android Studio:3.1.4.

1. Goto Project-->Right Click on Module (FolderIcon-GreywithGreenColorDot) -->Load/UnLoadModules in PopUp -->Select Which Module to Unload in PopUpWindow

2. Again RightClick on Module (FolderIcon-OrangeColor) -->Remove module.

3. Finally, RightClick again on Module (FolderIcon-GreyColor) -->Delete.

   Note:Incase Project Enabled with Git please remove module from settings.gradle, otherwise deleted module.iml will show in project module list(Reference Link).gradle.xml which is located in project/.idea/gradle.xml--remove a module from here.

Hope it helps. Thank-you.

Deleting is such a headache. I am posting the solution for Android Studio 1.0.2.

Step 1: Right click on the "Project Name" selected from the folder hierarchy like shown.
Note: It can also be deleted from the Commander View from right hand side of your window by right clicking the project name and selecting delete from the context menu.

Step 2: The project is deleted(seemingly) but gradle seems to keep the record of the project app folder(Check it by clcking on the Gradle View). Now go to File->Close Project.

Step 3: Now you are at the start window. Move the cursor on the in recent project list. Press Delete.

Step 4: Delete the folder from the explorer by moving or deleting it actually. This location is in your_user_name->Android Studio Projects->...

Step 5: Go back to the Android studio window and the project is gone for good. You can start a new project now.

In Android studio v1.0.2

Method 1

Go to project structure, File -> Project Structure..., as the following picture show, click - icon to remove the module.

Method 2

Edit the file settings.gradle and remove the entry you are going to delete. e.g. edit the file from include ':app', ':apple' to include ':app'.

That will work in most of the situation, however finally you have to delete the module from disk manually if you don't need it anymore.

After doing what's referred in [this answer]: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24592192/82788

Select the module(since it's still visible on the Project view),pressing Delete button on the keyboard can delete this module on disk.(Before doing what's referred in that answer, the Delete button has no effect.)

If you want to delete manually (for me it was easier), follow this:

Let's get this example with "teste".

1 - First change the explorer to "project" and open "settings.gradle";

2 - Delete the module you want;

3 - Go to your root folder of your project and delete the module folder.

Here is for Android studio 2.3.3 I did not find any Project Structure under File menu. So here are steps in pictures

To delete a module in Android Studio 2.3.3,

• Open File -> Project Structure
• On Project Structure window, list of modules of the current project gets displayed on left panel. Select the module which needs to be deleted.
• Then click - button on top left, that means just above left panel.

In android-studio version 4.0., OS-Ubuntu-18.04., Please follow my Steps

Step-1: Right Click on Project-->Open Module Option

Step-2: Click Your Module --> click (-)sign done on Top Left in PopUp, then press ok button.

Step-3: After removed module from the project

Step-4: Again do right-click in Project, Select Delete menu to Remove whole content from Disk space(i.e.folder).

Step-5: Delete the content of the module from disk by clicking done.

Hope it helps. Thank you

As I saw that in Android Studio 0.5.1, you have to close your project by doing simply File -> Close Project then move your mouse over the project which you want to delete then keep your mouse on the same project and press delete then click on "OK" button that would delete your project from Android Studio.

In Android Studio 1.0 - 1.1b4, I found this to be the easiest way to remove a module:

1. Open settings.gradle found under Gradle Scripts

2. Delete module's name from the include statement

3. Sync Project with Gradle Files

4. Optionally, delete it manually from the project folder

Example

Old:

include ':app', ':greendao'

New:

include ':app'

(Editor's Note: This answer was correct in May 2013 for Android Studio v0.1, but is no longer accurate as of July 2014, since the mentioned menu option does not exist anymore -- see this answer for up-to-date alternative).

First you will have to mark it as excluded. Then on right click you will be able to delete the project.

1. edit the project's settings.gradle file: delete the module name (, ':xxxxx') where xxxxx is the module name to be deleted

2. using the file explorer delete the module folder

by the way, the current version of the Android Studio (v3.1.2) throws an exception and exits the removing with an error while I'm removing the module through Module Settings => selected module => - (minus)

Best Regards, thanks)

The most reliable way I have found to do this it to go to project structure and remove it from dependencies and remove it from your setting.gradle file.

It will appear as if it is fully deleted at his point but it is not. If you try to re add the module it will say that it already exist in the project.

The final step is to go to the location of your project using file explorer etc and delete the module.

This work 100% of the time on studio 1.3.1
