title: NetBeans 8.0.2 Java "Project Folder already exists and is not empty"
body: <p>I've been getting this error message when I want to create a new project in NetBeans. There are two old answers for this question, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14228973/project-folder-already-exists-and-is-not-empty-error-in-netbeans">Project Folder already exists and is not empty- Error in netbeans</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17763388/netbeans-error-project-folder-already-exists-and-is-not-empty">Netbeans error: Project Folder already exists and is not empty</a>. Not only they are addressed for NetBeans 7, but also they didn't work. </p>
  
  <p>I tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>deleting project directory, </li>
  <li>deleting userdir under C:\Users..\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans,</li>
  <li>deleting cache under C:\Users..\AppData\Local\NetBeans, </li>
  <li>uninstalling and installing 8.0.2</li>
  <li>updating JDK to 8.40</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>but none of them worked!</p>
  
  <p>I really appreciate if you'd suggest a solution. Thanks already!</p>

  <p><strong>SOLVED:</strong> I uninstalled NetBeans from C directory and installed it to the D directory. Then while creating a new project I choose a directory under D. It works fine now!</p>
