Removing a workspace from Eclipse

Occasionally one wants to remove a workspace from Eclipse.
This is how one can remove it from launching a deleted workspace.

  • Close Eclipse if its running
  • Browse to the folder /configuration/.settings in the Eclipse installation folder (%ECLIPSE_HOME%)
  • Note that .settings is a hidden folder (Ctrl-H in Ubuntu to display hidden files)
  • Open the file org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs. This is where Eclipse stores workspace information.
  • Just edit the key named RECENT_WORKSPACES
  • Save and restart Eclipse.
