Let me start by saying "If I don't ask I will never know" YES I am a Novice coder
Perhaps most coders at our level are happy if the Sub or Function works
I started a VB.Net & SQLite project and decided to store the DB name in App.config as a key/value pair
So I added the System.Configuration reference and the key = dbName & value Notes.db
After some reading and consideration I abandoned the design
Ran Clean and Rebuild and unchecked System.Configuration reference
In my Debug Folder I still see the key dbName see Screen Shot

My Question is Why is this still here and can I delete it ?
 OR just go on with life and take my OC medication

    You can delete the entire bin and obj folders whenever you want. They will be recreated as required at the next build. – jmcilhinney Aug 16 '20 at 16:41
  • @jmcilhinney Why is it not removed with Clean or Rebuild I guess experience is the teacher here Thanks – Vector Aug 16 '20 at 16:50

    I believe the necessary files and directories are created, but nothing is deleted when rebuilding. Imagine having a `test.txt` file in your build folder for testing purposes and it being deleted every time you make changes to your code. It wouldn't be very practical. @jmcilhinney You should make an answer. – Audiopolis Aug 17 '20 at 14:30
  • If you want to delete all bin and obj folders, you can refer to: [I want to delete all bin and obj folders to force all projects to rebuild everything](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/755382/i-want-to-delete-all-bin-and-obj-folders-to-force-all-projects-to-rebuild-everyt) – Xingyu Zhao Aug 18 '20 at 08:11
