Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201609300101) Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_144 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.144-b01 Reproducibility: Happens every time STEPS: * Open file menu and click New Project. * Select Java, then Java Application and click Next. * Name the project and click finished to see the error. ACTUAL: Error at the button of the window that stops you from creating the project. The error is "Project folder already exists and is not empty". This is a new computer. I've tried a previous version of Netbeans, 8.1, which works on my other computer. I have removed the user directory files and regenerated them opening Netbeans. I've removed everything included the JDK and JDR, but still the error comes up when creating a new project. Existing projects work perfectly. EXPECTED: Project files get fully generated and window closes to show the project.

Comment on attachment 164958 [details] IDE log The problem might be related to the error I see at the bottom of the log that says: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file:/C:/Users/steve/Google%20Drive/My%20Documents/NetBeansProjects/testnewproject/nbproject/project.xml; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog. From what I read on google, this is because there is garbage data in the beginning of the xml file. I have confirmed that there is weird characters at the beginning of the project.xml file that gets generated when the error appears. Figuring out why this invalid data gets generated with the file and where to apply the fix might solve the issue so that the project files can finish generating without issues.
I also just noticed that this issue is present only when using the the netbeans64.exe version of the application in "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.2\bin". The 32 bit version, netbeans.exe, works perfectly.
