TIP 6: Clean All or Missing files in IDE using a free extension
Hello, my dear readers, I Came up with a new tip in our visual studio for your productivity. This tip is really useful for all coders who are using visual studio IDE.
Let me explain why this is so useful. The reason is “ We open files/solutions in IDE and that shown in Startup page which can use it for a faster usage(called Recent Files). But, Sometimes this gives us a problem.
Here the problem is “When you are trying to open a file/solution but actually that file is not available in our harddisk. So it gives us an alert message for deletion. If there is only one file then it is fine but you may face this situation for several files then here the solution to this problem using one extension in Visual Studio IDE.
Note: Before installing the below extension, First verify “Clear All/Clear Missing Files” is available or not in the following path: Files -> Recent Files Or Files -> Projects and Solutions. By default, nothing will be in the above path.
Extension Name: Clear Recent by Grzegorz Kozub
Note: Tools -> Extensions Or Extensions -> Manage Extensions depends on the IDE Version.
Steps to follow,
Step 1: Install Clear Recent Extension from Visual Studio Online.
Step 2: Restart your Visual Studio.
Step 3: Go to Files -> Recent Files Or Files -> Projects and Solutions and verify these options Clear All/Clear Missing Files.
Step 4: When you click on Clear All then clear all files and nothing will be there in Recent Files/Projects and Solutions menu.
Step 5: When you click on Clear Missing Files then it clear only missing files from our hard disk.
It helps you to save a lot of time. Expecting you to share your valuable comments and clap it if you liked this article.
