Unreal engine keeps crashing even after deleting the error file

I got an error in my gameinstance.cpp file. So i deleted the ,h and .cpp files, but when I launch unreal engine, it still crashes referencing the two gameinstance.cpp file even though it is not there in the project anymore.

Hi the_bat_2102

How did you delete the files? If you only deleted them in Visual Studio, then you only removed them from your solution and not from the project itself.

Close Unreal and Visual Studio
Using Windows Explorer, go to the directory which contains the problem files and delete them manually.
Delete the “Intermediates” directory from the project.
Right click the .uproject and select “Generate Visual Studio Files”
Open the project.
Make sure under maps and modes (in project settings) than you have selected the correct GameInstance and that it is still not referencing the previous GameInstance.

Hope this helps.

yeah, I did that it still crashes, referencing the deleted files.

Can you send the crash logs, please?

They are located: ProjectName/Saved/Logs.

Thanks

It worked, so I was using visual studio code which kept on crashing, the I changed to visual studio. This solved the problem. Thank you for your time.
