It is your responsibility to make copies so you can go back to one.

Open your project file (vb/cs)proj with a notepad, and search for the missing files.

Each publish attempt I got another file name, after checking that the file actually didn't exist in the project, I removed it from the project file, manually.

Then publish succeeded.

I encountered this bug using VS2017 with a solution stored in OneDrive.I suspected OneDrive's sync mechanism to be the root cause of this. When I tried to reproduce using VS2019 however it did not reappear. Looks solved in between these versions.

For me using solution here: Certain Razor views not publishing

Excluding the views folder and re-including fixed it for me. So it's possible for anyone else experiencing this it may be as simple as excluding and then including the file/folder in question of your project.

Answer 4

Make sure the obj folder is not read only, if so change read only property of this folder to false. this worked for me.

Answer 5

Check the permissions to the folder obj\Debug\ if you give it write permissions, the error would go away.

Answer 6

Delete the obj folder and build again.
