How do you convince VC++ 6 that a file is no longer used?

This is driving me crazy. I was using someone else's class for something in my program, but I didn't like how some things were implimented, so I made my own class that did the same thing and removed the old files from the project and deleted them. My class's methods have mostly the same names as the old one, and every time I try a "go to definition" on one of these methods it brings up a dialog asking where the old files are, even though it should just look in my new files that actually contain the methods. I have tried to clean and rebuild all, but to no avail. The same thing happens sometimes when using MFC and trying to get a dialog to be un-associated with a class - the compiler never actually believes that they are separate no matter what I try to do. How can I fix this? I don't want to have to delete the workspace and create a new one every stupid time something like this happens (and it wouldn't work when I use MFC, anyway).

You could try by deleting the preoject's .ncb file.

Deleting the .ncb didn't work. IonFilipski, what do you mean by change the modification date to earlier?

Okay, I fixed it. For some reason, clean wasn't deleting .bsc file in the debug directory with the exe and obj files. I deleted that and now it works. Thanks for your suggestions though.
