Can't figure out how to delete c++ files in my unreal editor

I watched a video on how to delete c++ files and I did that, but now it’s asking that I need to delete my binary folder in my project files. Whenever I do that it just causes my project not to run, but when I bring the binary folder back, the c++ files are still in the unreal editor just not in visual studio. Can someone help me out?

You don’t need to delete the binaries folder (though it really shouldn’t matter). It sounds like you’re not recompiling your project after you’ve deleted the files. If you deleted the binaries, compiling should remake them using the new state of the files.

If you deleted the files from solution explorer in visual studio then make sure you didn’t just exclude the files from the project. They very well might still be physically in the source folder.

Upon recompile if they were not deleted from the folder itself, they will be reincorporated back into the project and show up again.

oh yeah I’m an idiot, thank you :joy:
