PHPStorm: Error Loading Default Project

Question

The last thing I did in PHPStorm was install a plugin, then I believe it crashed (or I shut it down, I forget). After restarting, any time I open a project I get the following error:

Error Loading Default Project

com.intellij.diagnostic.PluginException: 
com/intellij/openapi/compiler/CompilerManager
[Plugin: com.siberika.idea.pascal]

Anyone know how to get around this so I can use my IDE? Thanks!

try disabling this plugin in Settings/Plugins - does it help? — lena

Actually I can't even load the application. When I try to create a new project I get the same error. — benjamin.keen

Then delete it manually while IDE is closed: intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/… — LazyOne

For the future: "There are no plugins in that folder specified, just some jar files" -- those ARE the plugins (.jar is a normal .zip file); "The names aren't clear enough to know what to remove" -- then remove all of them -- you can reinstall those other custom plugins again. — LazyOne

Deleting the plugin from the plugins directory did not work for me. I was able to fix this error by doing the following.

Open Intellij IDE from idea.exe or idea64.exe
And then from the Splash Screen there should be an option to access plugins
From the plugins screen you can now uninstall the plugin causing the error.

To delete a broken or unsupported plugin in PHPStorm (or any InteliJ based IDE), you can do it manually.

Go to the plugins folder and delete the folder or jar file that corresponds with the plugin causing the exception.
Restart PHPStorm

Plugins folders by OS

Linux and other Unix systems: ~/.<PRODUCT><VERSION>
Windows Vista, 7, 8: <SYSTEM DRIVE>\Users\<USER ACCOUNT NAME>\.<PRODUCT><VERSION>\config\plugins
Windows XP: <SYSTEM DRIVE>\Documents and Settings\<USER ACCOUNT NAME>\.<PRODUCT><VERSION>\config\plugins
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/<PRODUCT><VERSION>

e.g.: Plugins folders for PHPStorm 9.0 in Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/WebIde90
