I have an android project, let's call it myProject. I made a couple copies of it using copy paste so that I could significantly change one without messing up the original. For example I had:

myProject
myProject_copy1
myProject_copy2

I was recently looking at the files in my android project and noticed that there is a seperate .iml file (not really sure what an iml file is anyways) for each copy I made. So my myProject project has a:

myProject.iml
myProject_copy1.iml
myProject_copy2.iml

What are these and can I delete any?

  • @Jim I've read this but it doesn't seem to apply to my question of having an iml file for each time I duplicated my project and whether I can remove them. – Brejuro Feb 02 '16 at 06:30
  • It states that IML files store information about each module - and each of your projects is a module. The "copies" of your project have different locations, etc. You can remove them, but they will be recreated. Why would you want to remove them? – Jim Feb 02 '16 at 07:21
