IntelliJ IDEA: “Indexed Maven Repositories” list - how to REMOVE a remote maven repository in this list?

I really wanted this to be a comment to the answer posted in the thread IntelliJ IDEA: "Indexed Maven Repositories" list - how to add remote maven repository in this list? but my reputation does not allow for it. So please excuse this being posted as a new Question.

Is there any way to remove a repository from the "Indexed Maven Repositories" list? I moved projects and still see my old repositories in there, some of which have actually been taken offline.

I have tried re-importing my settings.xml file, restarting IntelliJ multiple times(invalidating the cache too), but cannot get those repositories to go away from this list.

What if you do Open Project and re-import root pom.xml? – Vic
That does not work too. Looks like intelliJ just caches it somewhere. I created a completed new project, but the indexed list still showed up. Anyway, have since moved to Eclipse - so this question does not matter anymore. – Jatin
Vic - Opening the project and re-importing the pom.xml does not do anything. This sees to be cached on the intelliJ side, and remains the same for all poms – Jatin
I neither have the proxy repo which I am trying to delete in settings.xml nor in any of the pom.xml files. What can I do here? – Dish

In my case the "indexed maven repository" I wanted to remove wasn't defined in Maven's settings.xml, but was defined inside one of my many sub-project's pom.xml file. I had to delete the following section from a pom.xml file. After deleting that from the pom.xml file the "indexed maven repository" was removed from Maven's settings in IntelliJ

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>foo</id>
        <name>foo</name>
        <url>file://${project.basedir}/maven/repository</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Possible solution: Just delete the file ".idea" in your program's root file, and open the pom.xml as a new program, then you will find the "indexed maven repositories" is modified automatically.

All my repositories got removed from this list, probably because I've moved the project to another directory on my device. My solution was to delete the jarRepositories.xml file, which is located inside the .idea folder.
