Class view shows ghost classes for deleted files

[Eric Torstenson]

I'm using netbeans 7.1.2 on OSX for C++.

I am using gtest, and when I added it to my project, netbeans picked up
all of the gtest tests and sample code, which poluted my namespace
listing in the "classes" tree. I've since removed those files (deleted
them, since they are no longer needed), however I see a lot of ghost
namespaces in which classes and functions which were contained in those
files. Is there a way to force netbeans to reparse my project and
totally rebuild it's class information? Unfortunately, the way the tests
were written, NB created 14 "unnamed" namespaces, along with a bunch of
named ones, dozens of global functions-and my program's 2 namespaces are
lost in all of the clutter.

Netbeans shows the "ghost" classes, including any member functions/data
in the tree, but it refuses to bring up the files when I click on them
(since they don't exist any more).

Thanks for any help.

Maybe clearing the cache will help.

That worked just fine-it took a few minutes to rebuild, but the end
result is a usable class tree once again.

For those who find this and want to find the cache, on OSX, it's under
~/.netbeans/7.X.X/var/cache (I couldn't find anyplace to change this in
preferences, so it's probably true on all 7.1.x installations). Not sure
if it's there for linux users, but it seems likely. Probably elsewhere
for window's users.

Thanks much for the help.

For reference, you can specify user dir with this:

--userdir

I believe there's one for the cache as well, maybe --cachedir.
