Ok this is just an occasionaly annoyance to me, but occasionally I'll be compiling and it will just stop and say that it can't delete some debug files. So I have to close VC++, go to my project folder, make sure my waste bin is not full and then delete everything in the 'Debug' folder. Open VC++ back up again, and continue on my way. Do you guys know how to fix that?
(and even when I make the settings so that everything just gets deleted, w/o that stop in the waste basket, it still happens.)

Oh and I just noticed we only had like 670 members, I thought we used to have 1,000?

hmmm... sounds odd...

Although I have had it occasionally not link due to either the .exe being used or otherwise not link due to an issue with a single output file, and then I just have to close down the IDE, delete that one file, and then open up the project again. I havn't had to do this recently, so I can't remember the exact cause/reasoning...

if it's only once in a while then I wouldn't worry too much, if it's happening often, I would consider positing it onto a microsoft developer forum...

You might have a problem with your program not terminating, and so it's trying to delete those dll's while the program is still in memory. That happens to me quite a bit, especially because I don't usually run the project through the IDE, but just compile through the IDE and then run it through Explorer.
