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

It was happened to me when

I delete project from eclipse Project Explorer and not checked the remove content from disk.

Next time when I tried to import same project in workspace then got same problem.

To solve I just did FYI work that every kid can do :)

So How I solved it:

1. Cut Ctrl + x myProject folder from eclipse workspace to other location ie Desktop
2. Right Click Navigator (you can get it from Window > Show View > Navigator) and Refresh (it will prompt following dialog)
3. Just click Yes button and move your project folder back to eclipse workspace directory
4. Import again!
5. Now Rock 'n' Role
