Question

I feel dumb for asking this, but I’ve spent like two hours trying to figure it out. I have a bunch of pictures that I included in my xcode project. I have them named background1.png, background2.png, background3.png etc.. I was renaming & messing around with the numbers of the photos and whatnot, and for some reason when I ran my code and I called [UIImage imagenamed @"background7.png"] I was getting background9.png instead. So I figured I have duplicate images in my project somewhere.

I deleted all the background images that I can find in my project. And when I run the code, even though I think they should all be gone, these images are still showing up. I opened up the finder and deleted any reference of background*.png I can find on my entire computer, and I tried moving the project to a different directory and it is still finding these photos. I thought that maybe the simulator/phone is caching the images so I deleted the app, didn’t help. Any ideas on where these images might be hiding to where I can’t find them anywhere but they can still be referenced?

You need to follow two simple steps :-

1. Clean your project. (Xcode->Product->Clean)
2. Delete application from device/simulator

Run again.

Hope this helps you..
