Where is the .idea directory located for Android Studio on mac?

I have encountered a problem in Android Studio and I need to be able to:

  1. delete the .idea directory

  2. delete all .iml files

I'm not sure of where the .idea directory is located or where the .iml files are stored on mac.

Solution

  • The .idea folder is in the top level folder of your project, but it's hidden because it starts with a dot.

    You can see it by performing an ls -a (for "show all files") in the Terminal in that folder (Command+Drag the folder into the Terminal to open that folder in the Terminal).

    You can also enable showing hidden files in Finder.
