I just solve this problem. chmod 777 -R /home/project/.idea/ — Tony_Wang, Jul 22 '13 at 13:57
@Tony_Wang Thanks that seems to fix the issue. Should be `chmod -R 777 ...` though. — xji, Feb 25 '15 at 08:01
I guess you do know its because of permissions...nothing major — Patrick Mutwiri, Dec 04 '15 at 04:46
There was a SO moderator who went clinically insane when he saw the sheer number of answers and questions that suggested chmod 777 -R * poor fellow he's still lurking around out there :P — some_groceries, Apr 04 '16 at 09:28

go to preferences, system settings -> then uncheck "use safe write" checkbox.

awm

omg thank you so much, I have been looking for the solution to this for so long. – Rob Jun 21 '17 at 05:23
me too...I was grinding my teeth until now after changing permissions to write and then never having PHPStorm respect that. – Alex Finnarn Nov 10 '17 at 17:17
This was a very annoying issue, tried giving full disk access, checked folder permissions, but this setting fixed it. Not sure what will be a disadvantage for not using the safe write option. At least I have git to rollback changes. – Trinadh venna Dec 16 '19 at 19:34
