How often to delete bin and obj files?

Issue

I saw in Kym Phylpotts email suggesting that developers commonly delete the bin and obj directory to solve problems. When and how often do I do this?

Solution

I face this type of problems when I update visual studio or open few old projects. In must of the time I update the nugets packages and carefully debug the error. I believe this isn't stand alone problem with visual studio. My old projects sometime don't compile even on Android Studio. So, it is always a good to keep your project up to date. For your problem deleteting the bin and obj directory and rebuilding the project will recreate files. This works most of the time. Also try restarting vs several time, update nuget packages and carefully debug the error.
