I am running XP Pro on a Pentium 4 machine, Eclipse version 3.0.1 with MyEclipse 3.8.4+QF2 (Build ID: 200502031200-3.8.4+QF2)

My problem: I created a Web Project that contains a servlet and 2 .jsp files. I created the project to use J2EE1.4 and include the JSTL 1.1 libraries.
I was having problems with the project and decided to delete it and start over. I highlighted the project in the Package Explorer and hit the delete button.

Upon trying to delete the project, I get a ‘Delete Problems’ box. The message in it says “Problems encountered while deleting resources.”

I click on the Details button and here’s what I see:

Could not delete: /FltWeb.
Could not delete: C:/eclipse3.0.1/eclipse/workspace/FltWeb/WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar.
Could not delete: C:/eclipse3.0.1/eclipse/workspace/FltWeb/WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar.
Could not delete: C:/eclipse3.0.1/eclipse/workspace/FltWeb/WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib.
Could not delete: C:/eclipse3.0.1/eclipse/workspace/FltWeb/WebRoot/WEB-INF.
Could not delete: C:/eclipse3.0.1/eclipse/workspace/FltWeb/WebRoot.

Is it safe to simply go into the workspace folder and delete the FltWeb folder? Have I really messed something up?

Thanks in advance-

It’s fine, the JAR files are just locked by Eclipse for parsing the autocomplete information out of them, you can just restart Eclipse then when it comes back up, erase the project.
