Please include the following information in all bug reports:

.ipr, .iws and .imp files are deprecated, and should be replaced with the .idea/ directory format.

I don't these files are deprecated (it's not stated in the docs), they are just "legacy", but they are unused with external systems if I understood correctly: the Gradle wizard does to not generate a .iml file for example, the plain Java and Maven project wizards do.

However I agree the plugin should not, given that it only generates Maven and Gradle projects. It seems misc.xml should contain <component name="ExternalStorageConfigurationManager" enabled="true" /> After adding it, deleting the files should be safe. A programmatic way to do it should be preferred if possible.
