Eclipse “Invalid Project Description” when creating new project from existing source

I am trying to create a new project from existing source code. I keep getting the following error: “Invalid Project Description”, project path “overlaps the location of another project” with the same name. The reason is that I created that project from the source code before, but then I deleted that project and deleted its whole directory, before adding the source code directory again. I tried everything like cleaning and restarting, but nothing worked. I looked in my workspace directory, but there are no traces for the old project.
There are several questions around this problem such as this Attempting Android Notepad Tutorial – Exercise 1 – More problems, but none of the answers worked for me!
