Easy question - How do I clean-out / reset CCS?

How do I clean-out / reset CCS?

************************************************

Here are the details.

CCS hung, so I had to do an unclean shutdown of that task.  Now on startup I get a popup window with this error message:

Multiple Errors have Occurred
An internal error occurred during: "Searching for local changes".
java.lang.NullPointerException

After that I can edit my files, but I a popup window complains when I try to build. And the Console gives a report containing several items like this:

DEL /F "FileX.out"

Could Not Find FileX.out

    Walter,

    The first things to try would be to clean the workspace or create a new workspace and try importing the project into it:
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCS#General_IDE

    However, based on a couple of other reports in the forums of similar error, it seems that the project itself may be corrupted, in which case importing it into a new workspace would not help.

    Please check this related post: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/63650/275408.aspx
    Unfortunately if that's the case, you may need to either recreate the project or try to retrieve a uncorrupted saved version, possibly from source control, if that's an option.

    Your advice solved the problem.

    ***************************************

    Details: 

    First I backed up my files!

    Then I tried launching CCS (i.e., eclipse) using the "-clean" option.  But this did not solve the problem in my case.  (Note: To do this, I examined the properties of the CCS desktop launch icon to find and copy the address of its executable.  Then I pasted that into the Windows Command Prompt window, appended the "-clean" option, and ran it.  However, as I said, this solution did not work in my particular case.)

    I then tried moving the .metadata file to another directory.  (To CCS that looks like I deleted the .metadata file.  I did this so I could restore my old .metadata file later, if necessary.) Then I successfully started CCS (with no complaints popping up), and imported my projects.  This solved my problem.

    Thanks Aarti!
