Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace error in Eclipse

Question

I am trying to import a project that me and my co-worker have been working on.. and keep getting this error after I select-- \"import\" then \"import existing project\" then

Answer 1

This usually happens when you change the project directory physically without first delete in Eclipse. You can view and delete these hidden projects in the following view:

Window -> Show View -> Other -> General -> Navigator

Then simply just continue with the process of import existing project.
