    I needed to start project test over. I did what I always do in VB 2003. I closed VB and renamed the directory the project was in, test, to oldtest. I then opened VB and told it to create a new project called test. It told me it could not because there was already a project by that name?????? Somehow it found the project even as I tried to prove to it it didn't exist any more by clicking test in the recently used projects section and after a long wait it came up!!! I looked in explorer and it had renamed the directory oldtest back to test. Damn it!!!! How do I delete a project?!

      You already did it. The problem is that something else prevented you from renaming the folder. Maybe you still had the old project open? Perhaps an instance of the project .EXE was running? You don't have the rights to rename that folder? ...

        The directory was indead renamed. Somehow it got renamed back. I can't explain. I rebooted the pc and then renamed it again and this time it worked.
