How to delete a module in Android Studio

The "Mark as Excluded" option isn't there anymore.

The current (Android Studio 0.8.x - 2.2.x) way to do this is via the Project Structure dialog. It can be accessed via "File -> Project Structure" or by right-clicking on a Module and selecting "Module Settings".

Then select the module, and click the "minus" button to remove it.

The directory will still be visible in the "Project" view (though not in the "Android" view) since it's not actually deleted, but it will no longer be treated as a module.

If you want, you can then physically delete the files it by right-clicking on it and pressing "Delete".


(Editor's Note: This answer was correct in May 2013 for Android Studio v0.1, but is no longer accurate as of July 2014, since the mentioned menu option does not exist anymore -- see this answer for up-to-date alternative).

First you will have to mark it as excluded. Then on right click you will be able to delete the project.

In Android Studio 1.0 - 1.1b4, I found this to be the easiest way to remove a module:

  1. Open settings.gradle found under Gradle Scripts

  2. Delete module's name from the include statement

  3. Sync Project with Gradle Files

  4. Optionally, delete it manually from the project folder

Example

Old:

include ':app', ':greendao'

New:

include ':app'

As I saw that in Android Studio 0.5.1, you have to close your project by doing simply File -> Close Project then move your mouse over the project which you want to delete then keep your mouse on the same project and press delete then click on "OK" button that would delete your project from Android Studio.

In Android studio v1.0.2

Method 1

Go to project structure, File -> Project Structure..., as the following picture show, click - icon to remove the module.enter image description here

Method 2

Edit the file settings.gradle and remove the entry you are going to delete. e.g. edit the file from include ':app', ':apple' to include ':app'.

That will work in most of the situation, however finally you have to delete the module from disk manually if you don't need it anymore.
