Could not find file 'C:\<deletedfile>'

[Hyguys]

Environment

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64 bits) - Current Version 17.3.0

.NET version

Not sure - the latest (I'm a beginner)

Did this work in a previous version of Visual Studio and/or previous .NET release?

Not sure

Issue description

I was trying to make my solution to a template because just copying and pasting the solution folder was not working to open in a new computer - showing the error pipe name timed out DesignToolsServer.
So I tried to make my solution a template then open this template in a new computer - which worked "better", only that when opening on the new computer, it tried to find a file that was in my other computer.
So I deleted the file on my old computer hoping that the solution could open without it (it was an image and I had already made a copy of it with a different name and put in on the solution folder). However, now I can't even open the solution on my own computer, because the file was deleted, but the solution keeps trying to find it.

(As you can see the image is not on the Resouce window).
How can I remove the reference to this image that doesn't exist anymore using visual studio community 2022?

Steps to reproduce

Add a image to your project, attach it to a image control and delete it manually. Your designer should break

@Hyguys if I understood the issue correctly, you have added an image as a resource, but then you deleted the image file from the disk. The designer requires the physical file to be present, otherwise it can't render your form/control.
To fix the issue you need to manually modify the resx file and remove the reference to the deleted image file.
