How To Remove Projects From Visual Studio

Hello, I’m going to do a demonstration how of remove a project in Visual Studio. I’ve got a little project here called ‘Remove’. Double-click on that and show you what it does. Basically all we do is enter some text and we over-write that with an empty string so that it does remove that text.



Now we go and type in some text, click remove, and it over-writes it. Say we’ve done a major error and we wish to remove that. We need to be clicking on the start menu, click on ‘Run’, and type in ‘Regedit’. Click ‘Ok’.



And then we need to move to ‘HKEY_Current_User’, and find ‘Software’. Scroll about and find ‘Microsoft’, then scroll down and find ‘Visual studio’. In my case it’s 9.0.



And under here we find ‘Project MIU List’. Double-click on that, and these are the projects. I’ll just move over a bit so that you can actually see the names. I’ll put this quite far over, and here are the names of the projects.



And this is the one we want to remove; the ‘Remove Project’. You have to highlight it, left-click. And then right-click and delete.



Lastly if you’re sure, you say ‘Yes’. Now in Visual Studio all these projects need to be in numerical order so you need to rename these.



Rename that as ‘1’. Just right-click, rename. Right-click, rename. Right-click, rename; so that they’re all in numerical order.



Once we’ve done that we can close this window.



I’ll open up Visual Studio again, and now you see the Remove Project has actually been removed from the list each projects. The files do actually exist on the hard drive, so if you wanted to remove these as well just delete these like you would a normal file. Just highlight it and delete that. And that will completely remove the project.
