How to force emacs projectile to reinitialize a project?

I'm using projectile with emacs to manage a large project.

I moved a number of directories with scores of files.

The old file paths are still showing up in projectile find file (C-c p f).

How do I remove them in bulk or force projectile to re-initialize the project?

I've tried:

  • projectile-purge-dir-from-cache
  • projectile-invalidate-cache
  • quitting emacs, deleting ~/.emacs.d/projectile.cache, restarting emacs
  • adding a .projectile file with 'exclude' options for the original dirs

After all of these, the same original list of old paths/files still appears on C-c p f.

How about deleting ~/.emacs.d/projectile.cache and using either ag(the silver searcher) or rg (ripgrep) to generate the project files ? Check out my projectile config to get an idea on how you can use rg to generate project files - Chakravarthy Raghunandan
Have you tried C-u C-c p f? - Daimrod

C-u C-c p f does it.

Thanks to Daimrod!
