I pasted many files and folders in my project folder. The problem is that WebStorm is still using local history, and I cannot make the IDE refresh the content. Local changes does not affect the real file structure too.

I used:

  • Reload all from disk (Ctrl + Alt + Y)
  • Reopen the project
  • Fix IDE tool, including invalidate all caches
  • Removing the ~./cache/JetBrains folder
  • Trying to make a copy of the project and open it in another folder. My IDE does not seem any changes in the system.

VSCode updates everything instantly, but I don't wanna use it. My IDE version is 2022.2.2. There's no .idea folder since I just opened it without creating a project.

  • *"There's no .idea folder since I just opened it without creating a project."* But the IDE creates that folder when you open a folder like that in the IDE... If I use "Open..." and point to a folder it will make a new project from those files (unless the `.idea` folder is already present; in such a case it will be used). – LazyOne Apr 11 '23 at 22:42
  • Well, there's no .idea folder and I cannot test it with a new project directory, because the local ide file state is different from the real one :( – vbpkzxczhbdgwrr Apr 12 '23 at 01:29
  • It all looks very odd to me. Might be a user mistake even (editing the wrong folder?...) When you use `File | Invalidate Caches...`, choose all options there and restart, the IDE should loose ALL indexes/caches, including Local History. I may only suggest to double check what folders you are deleting: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html – LazyOne Apr 12 '23 at 07:54
  • Looking at the shortcuts and paths you have mentioned -- you seem to be on Linux. How WebStorm was installed -- is it snap or flatpak installation? If so -- try the plain ZIP from JetBrains website or use their ToolboxApp to install the IDE -- it can make a difference. Other than that: use `Help | Contact Support...` to submit a support ticket with WebStorm support team where you can privately provide the needed files (`idea.log` and other requested info) – LazyOne Apr 12 '23 at 08:02
