Deleting and Recreating a project with same name is tricky. If you try to follow above suggested steps and try to create a project with same name as the one you just deleted, you will run into error like

'C:/xxxxxx/pom.xml' already exists in VFS

Here is what I found would work.

Remove module
File -> Invalidate Cache (at this point the Intelli IDEA wants to restart)
Close project
Delete the folder form system explorer.
Now you can create a project with same name as before.

In my strange case  Intellij remembers forever about my project even if I delete  iml    Thus I did the following   Close project  Delete the  iml file  Rename my project directory  say my proj  to my proj backup   Possibly not needed  Open my proj backup in Intellij and close  Create an empty directory called my proj  and open it in Intellij  Then close it  Remove the my proj and move my proj backup back to my proj  Then open my proj in Intellij   Then it happily forgot the old my proj
