How do I show fewer projects in Package Explorer?

Question

I have a ton of projects in Eclipse Package Explorer and I want most of them to go away. How do I delete projects from the Package Explorer view (but keep the files)?

Answer 1

Just close the projects. Right-click on the top-level node of the project and select "Close Project". That's assuming you want to be able to use the project later. If you don't, you can delete the project - it will offer you the option of whether or not to delete the content files.

You might also consider using several different workspaces, each containing a few related projects.

Answer 2

Just hit the DEL key on your keyboard while selecting the Project. It'll ask you if you want to keep the project-files

Just right click on the project and click delete .But does not allow to delete it from the project location(Workspace)
