In my Ejecta project, I added a lot of JavaScript files under /App/vendor/library. Some of the libraries have been updated, and some files were no longer needed. So, I deleted them.

I have a manifest file that specifies which files to load at runtime from that directory. I failed to remove some entries after deleting the actual files using Finder. In the web version of my app, the browser immediately threw an error that the files couldn't be loaded because they didn't exist. I expected Ejecta to do the same, but it does not. Matter of fact, when I dump the results to console, I can see that Ejecta app is still finding the files. So, I did a clean and rebuild. Still there. Tried cleaning build folders, still there.

Where is Xcode putting these files? How do I delete them?

Also, I noticed something similar a while ago, when a revision JavaScript source did not show up in Ejecta test build. A simple clean fixed that problem, but it's a bit tedious to always have to clean and then run. Is this related to the above problem?

Ok, I see. Since I'm testing in iOS Simulator, the actual app is only updating the source files that change, but not deleting them when removed from the Xcode project. That's actually worse I think. I'm unsure how to manage that right now, except by manually deleting the app from iOS Simulator.
