can't remove breakpoint

Question

I've a solid break point in Visual Studio 2008 that I can't remove. I can add other break points. Some removed but some don't.

The error is "can't insert breakpoint"

How can this be fixed?

This is very weird. I added a new line above the lines that I couldn't removed and was able to remove them.

Anyone who adds more information on this will get credit.

This would happen when the breakpoint gets out of sync from the parse tree.

Go to the Breakpoints pane (Debug, Windows, Breakpoints) and delete it from there.

To clarify, SLaks says, "delete it ..."; don't just uncheck it. This doesn't work. – SteveCinq Jan 26 '17 at 16:50

Sometimes the solution *.suo file can become corrupt. This is where the breakpoints are stored. You can workaround the issue by deleting the suo file.

Make sure to close visual studio before you delete the .suo file otherwise it'll recreate it with the same bug once you do close it. – JConstantine Aug 24 '11 at 09:50

The shortcut command Control+Shift+F9 deletes all breakpoints.
