Delete a project completely from Android Studio?

Question

I want to delete a project from Android Studio 2.2.2. I tried these steps:

Delete module
Delete from recent files
Delete directory
Delete by nautilus

But directory AndroidStudioProjects/Application_Name/.idea/ returns back with these contents after restarting Android Studio:

./misc.xml
./compiler.xml
./workspace.xml
./copyright/profiles_settings.xml

How delete a module completely?

i guess these files pertain to the entire project instead of a specific module — nandsito, Dec 03 '16 at 19:41
@nandsito I do not think like you. Pay attention to path of `/.idea/` directory which is a sub directory of `AndroidStudioProjects/Application_Name/` — hasanghaforian, Dec 03 '16 at 19:46
a module is located inside the project directory, e.g. `AndroidStudioProjects/Application_Name/module_name`. This `.idea` directory is directly below the main project dir — nandsito, Dec 03 '16 at 19:53
you can delete `Application_Name` directory and everything goes away. Is that what you really want? — nandsito, Dec 03 '16 at 20:08
@nandsito Thank you for your reply, I confused by terms "project" and "module". I thought "module" is "project" and that was the problem. — hasanghaforian, Dec 03 '16 at 20:22

I'm beginner in "Android Studio" and confused terms "project" and "module". So when I wanted to delete a project, did deleting a module and that was the real problem.

Finally I did these steps:

Closed the project
Removed that from "recent projects list"
Deleted project directory by "System File manager"

More details are described here.
