Eclipse CDT: How to clear Problems window without invoking Clean Project or Build Project?

Question

Is there a way to clear the Problems window (and any related source code error/warning annotations) without invoking "Build All/Project/..." or "Clean project" (or deleting the project and then re-creating/re-importing it)?

Answer 1

Yes, in the problems view:

1. Right Click > Select All (or ctrl-A)
2. Right Click > Delete

All the markers are then deleted.

This is not a solution for me, as I got over 3k error, and the window only show 100 at a time. Any other ideas? – Beeck

I'm having the same issue, and Delete is not available when I select all problems. – Northnorthwest

Try to build your project and if its succsess and still IDE shows Errors in problem section then this works because these are not real errors anymore – Heyman

Answer 2

It is also not best solution, but when you configure Problems view (using menus under arrow icon) you can turn limit off and then select and deleta all errors.

Answer 3

you can set limit visible items through the down arrow in the top right side of problems views then click preferences, type your limit, for example (1000):

after that by :

right click in the problems view -> select all,
right click again -> delete.
