Ok, I renamed the "{HOME}/.cache/netbeans/11.3" directory to "{HOME}/.cache/netbeans/11.3-old", then restarted Netbeans.

After it had finished doing its 'Background scanning of projects', I then went to the "Services" tab, and opened the local repo. It immediately started to re-index it.  The result was what I was hoping for!  Then I opened the 'central" repo, and it downloaded
the new index from there.

As someone reported hearing the man who had jumped off the Empire State building saying, on the way down: "So far so good!" :-)

So far so good,
Brad.

You can always move those folders elsewhere then move them back. But I doubt it's related to the userdir, must be the cache.

    Hi,

    That doesn't seem very practical, as it will blow away all my
    settings.  Further, I'm look for an ongoing solution, as I will
    want to clean out those old files on a regular basis.

    Maybe also remove cachedir and, if that doesn’t help, userdir.
    Location of both is in the About box.

        Hi there.

        I have deleted some old "-SNAPSHOT" versions of some
        projects, from my
        local repo.  However, Netbeans still thinks that they exist!

        I have tried to get it to 'update index', both from the
        'Services' tab,
        and from the 'Options' dialog.  Nothing happens.

        I have even deleted the 'mavenindex' directory, and restarted
        Netbeans.
        This just caused Netbeans to go into an apparent loop trying
        to index.
        After over 12 hours, I shutdown Netbeans to stop this
        process. Still no
        index!

        Any ideas?

        Thank you,
        Brad.
