HOW DO I STOP AN OLD PROGRAM FROM RUNNING IN A NEWLY CREATED JAVA CLASS.

Hi guys, I've created a new program in intelliJ idea but everytime I run it I'm prompted for the code from a previous program.I know there is a way to clear previous programs by right clicking in the editor that Craig mentioned but can't remember where it is.

Would appreciate some help. Many thanks,Chris.

Can you post the message you are getting in IntelliJ? I'm not sure if I fully understand the issue you're running into.

Hi Jen, I've figured out the problem.I had created three Java classes, Java Basics, Java for Beginners and Java Main.When I created and ran a program in Java for Beginners I was getting the results from the code I had created in Java Main without realizing that in order to run a particular class it needs to be selected from the dropdown menu in the top right of the interface. Beginners mistake but thanks for responding.
