'How to manage IntelliJ IDEA contexts
Using IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.4, I can save, load, and clear contexts from the Tools menu:
Tools > Tasks & Contexts > Save Context
Tools > Tasks & Contexts > Load Context
Tools > Tasks & Contexts > Clear Context
When the list of contexts come up, I don't have any control on how to delete the context from the list. The Clear Context option, only removes all the files loaded from that context from the view in the IDE. It doesn't remove that context from the list of contexts.
How do I remove contexts from the list of contexts?

For bulk deletion of Intellij contexts
I have intellij installed as a snap in linux. Contexts are stored in a zip file. The location is for example
/home/tim/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2021.3/tasks/
the relevant zip is named like so
myproject.contexts.zip
Exit intellij.
In the archive, delete unwanted contexts, each of which is a file in the archive. For example, you may expand the archive, delete the contexts you don't want and re-zip it. Or perhaps you can edit them in-place.
Restart intellij. They are gone.
