   Hi @tballison 
   
   > I use Intellij, too, and I have had to run find . -name *.iml -exec rm -rf {} \; && rm -r .idea/ a number of times during development of Tika 2.0 because the changes have overwhelmed Intellij's metadata.
   
   You can try this : [Intellij: Get rid of iml file](https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360006734039-Intellij-Get-rid-of-iml-file).
   
   This would remove all .iml in project directories and store them in a externally way. Just do it like this :
   1. Set the `Store generated project files externally` in `Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Maven | Importing` for new project settings(in Files -> New Project Settings -> Settings for New Projects)
   2. Remove all `.iml` files and `.idea/` using `find . -name *.iml -exec rm -rf {} \; && rm -r .idea/`
   3. Reopen your project with Intellij
   
   Therefore no `.iml` files would be generated in project directories. The Intellij could detect the deletion of directories and notify you to update the project.
   
   Hope this helps. :)
