How to remove project from the Project Wizard

Questions & Answers

Hey

My project list in this startup wizard (or when you Open Project) is getting filled with old stuff that just annoy me. Is there any way to remove those entries or “purge” the list from projects that no longer exist?

Thanks in advance

On Windows, this is written to the registery.

Run regedit, and find the key -

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unity Technologies\Unity Editor 3.x

There you’ll see the list of RecentlyUsedProjectPaths you can delete them :slight_smile:

I tend to just rename the project directory – say, from ProjectA/ to ProjectA-2/. Then restart Unity: it won’t find the project, and will remove it from the project window. Then quit Unity once again. Optional: renaming ProjectA-2/ back to ProjectA/.

A bit of a hacky workaround, though some might prefer it to registry hacking.

On Ubuntu

open file ~/.local/share/unity3d/prefs and remove lines with RecentlyUsedProjectPaths
