Getting error finding Qt versions and kits after changing the Qt location.

[surajgoswami]

I'm working with Qt version 5.15.2. I recently changed the Qt installation directory, but Qt Creator still tries to use the old location when linking Qt.
I have already updated all the paths and environment variables to point to the new directory. However, when I go to Qt Versions in Qt Creator, it still fetches the old paths and shows errors related to finding kits and versions.

I have also deleted all old configuration files and caches, but that didn’t help.
Can someone please help me fix this issue?

@surajgoswami I guess you moved the folder containing Qt to other location?
This is problematic because Qt uses rpath to store the locations of libraries. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpath
You should rather reinstall Qt in the new location.

Yeah, I have moved the folder containing Qt. Is there no other solution than reinstalling Qt?

@surajgoswami You would need to patch the binaries (Qt libs) to change the rpath, but reinstalling Qt is easier.
