Pycharm: "scanning files to index" is taking forever

in Education by

I am using PyCharm Community Edition 5.0.1 It was working fine till yesterday. But it has been stuck at 'Scanning files to index' for a very long time now. Since yesterday. I have tried re-installing it, and also tried invalidating cache. I can make changes to programs and use it as a text editor but unable to run any file.

Exclude the folders you do not want to index. You can do this by right-clicking the folder you want to exclude, then choose Mark Directory As > Excluded and PyCharm will not index those files.
