Issue
When I would like to re-create a maven project with a name had been but have been deleted already, I receive the following error message:
Failed to create maven project: '.../pom.xml' already exists in VFS
Solution
See Cleaning System Cache page.
- Open any project in IntelliJ IDEA
- Select "File > Invalidate Caches / Restart ..."
- Click on "Invalidate and Restart"
WARNING
Cleaning out the system caches, keep in mind that:
It results in clearing the local history.
To avoid losing data, check in the changes to your version control system before invalidating caches. Causes a complete rebuild of all the projects ever run in the current version of IntelliJ IDEA.
