How to remove 'blank' files from Visual Studio when debugging Classic ASP

97 Views Asked by At

At my current workplace, we have a piece of software that uses Classic ASP. Whenever I try and debug the application by putting in a 'stop' command, it takes ages for Visual Studio to load up the debug mode, normally at least 30 minutes. This is the time from attaching the process from your browser to it actually making the 'stop' break point available to debug.

I believe it takes this long because it loads up lots of 'blank' files in the Solution Explorer: Blank files under the main script files

How do I remove these 'blank' files? By the looks of things, they don't contain any content and are previous instances of debugging files which have been saved, as when I save an ASP file it seems to create more of them. I'm using IIS version 10 (on Windows 10). Other colleagues get the same problem, although it loads a lot quicker for them.
