    <p>This is a long one, but <em>please</em>, bear with me. I really need help here.</p> <p>I use Eclipse (latest version) to play with some programs of my own. During installation (?), it asked me where I'd like to put in my Workspace folder. I set it to default, but, not wanting to dig through Documents and such (I have my own Documents folder on another drive), I made sure that every project I have is condensed into one "Projects" folder, not in the Workspace. My "Projects" folder contains every program I've coded so far, from C# to Java, as well as the necessary tools, like the Eclipse folder.</p> <p>It worked fine for me, until I decided I want to do another project. So, I navigated to my "Projects" folder, and then created it there.</p> <p>Now for some reason, Eclipse treated the directory I navigated to as my project folder. As in, new folders like bin, src, etc. started popping up in my otherwise organized folder. Visual Studio does not have this problem, and actually creates a <em>new</em> folder for your project under whatever directory you set it to.</p> <p>So I, in a 'Monday blues' move, went into Eclipse and deleted my project. Eclipse wasted no time in deleting my entire "Projects" folder and everything in it - including itself, apparently. <strong>Gah</strong>.</p> <p>I quickly closed Eclipse, but it kept saying something about 'Saving Workspace' which I assumed meant "<em>Don't close me yet, I'm still deleting your files.</em>"</p> <p>I thought I was being sensible when I terminated it via the Task Manager. It stopped deleting my stuff, but out of the dozen or so programs, I only managed to save three.</p> <p>Wanting to start over again, I deleted (what's left of) my Eclipse, so I can 'install' it again, and let it have its way of where to create projects and save my files, so that this doesn't happen again. Unfortunately, one folder keeps returning no matter how many times I delete it. The aforementioned <strong>bin</strong> folder, a name that needs at least two adjectives and the suffix "Of the Damned."</p> <p>So, to summarize:</p> <ul> <li>I lost majority of my programs.</li> <li>I lost my Eclipse.</li> <li>And folder 'Bin' keeps popping up.</li> </ul> <p>And so I'd like to ask:</p> <ul> <li>Can I recover my files?</li> <li>How can I setup Eclipse so that it creates a new project folder when I create a new project instead of treating the directory as the project folder?</li> <li>How can I permanently get rid of that haunted Bin folder?</li> </ul> <p>If anyone an help out here, thank you so much. This has easily been one of my worst Mondays.</p> <p>As of now, I have tried:</p> <ul> <li>Restarting my PC (didn't work, Bin Folder is still there)</li> <li>Downloading and running a new copy of Eclipse (didn't work either)</li> </ul>

    1. COSorry I haven't read all your question because it is too long. But you need the bin folder as it contains the compiled classes but you could change the location in the project properties.

    2. COI don't need the Bin folder anymore as I have no more Java programs, and neither do I have Eclipse.
