I m not sure about older versions  but from NEON onward  you can just right click on workspace and select Remove from launcher selection option     of course this won t remove the original files  It simply removes it from the list of suggested workspaces

Just delete the whole directory  This will delete all the projects but also the Eclipse cache and settings for the workspace  These are kept in the  metadata folder of an Eclipse workspace  Note that you can configure Eclipse to use project folders that are outside the workspace folder as well  so you may want to verify the location of each of the projects    You can remove the workspace from the suggested workspaces by going into the General Startup and Shutdown Workspaces section of the preferences  via Preferences   General   Startup  amp  Shudown   Workspaces    Remove     Note that this does not remove the files itself  For old versions of Eclipse you will need to edit the org eclipse ui ide prefs file in the configuration  settings directory under your installation directory  or in    eclipse on Unix  IIRC
