Visual Studio 2013: Error when creating new web project

Question

Whenever I create a new ASP Web project in Visual Studio 2013 I get the following error:

Error   1   The imported project "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets"
was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, 
and that the file exists on disk.

I know that by fixing it you go into the csproj file and comment out the line in which <Import> is on but I have to do that for every new project, is there another way I can fix this so that I don't get this error for new projects?

Can you create a file at that location, or even better copy the correct file from another computer? — AdrianHHH, Jun 01 '14 at 19:29
I am running VS 2013 Ultimate. I did have VS2012 and 2010 installed but uninstalled them — CallumVass, Jun 02 '14 at 17:16
I'm guessing you're targeting .NET 4 and when you uninstalled VS2010 it deleted the v10 targets. Do you get the error when creating webapps for .NET 4.5.1 in VS2013? — Ilya Kozhevnikov, Jun 02 '14 at 17:21
