PyCharm hangs on ‘scanning files to index’ background task

by

My project contained a folder that had like 100k files/folders inside. This was making indexing way too slow.

To fix this, exclude the folder from Project structure in PyCharm.

File - Settings - Project: yourprojectname - Project Structure - Right click on folder and press "Excluded"
