How to unimport a project from android studio

Question

I downloaded a library from github and imported it. I don't think it was done right. How to unimport it. I deleted the project from windows file explorer. Now when I build I get Task 'compileDebugSource' not found in project:BackgroundMailLibrary.

I just found that that lib is deprecated and want to use the new one. Please help.

.

I removed the library by clicking on it and selecting edit configuration and clicking the - mark. But am still getting the cross mark

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 22 buildToolsVersion "23.0.0 rc2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.prematixsofs.taxiapp"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

}

dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0' compile files('libs/activation.jar') compile files('libs/additionnal.jar') //compile files('libs/mail.jar') }

If it is a library dependence
go to file-->project structure-->on the right side tab select dependency and remove that
you can also remove it from you build.gradle file

if it is imported as a module
go to file-->project structure-->on top left corner click the (-) mark

In Android studio window,

Remove from File > Project Structure > Dependencies > - button. Then if it is still there you can remove the module by going to the settings.gradle file and removing it from the include line.

If you have disable run button than follow

Click Run on the menu and then Edit Configurations then click on Android Application on the left and click the + button. Choose Android Application from the pop-up menu. Then pick the module (its normally app or something like that). Then click apply and ok.

If you have more errors after that, try to re-import the project in Android Studio.
