With moving and deleting files in my project at least, I know I can always undo the changes in the Git changes window, or, worst case, delete the project and get the files from the GitHub repository without using VS.īasically, I'm very frustrated and confused at this point. I did find the setting that lets you change the default location for template files and I looked at Microsoft's help page about templates, but I don't really understand beyond that a template stores a bunch of project settings and, again, I didn't want to risk messing something up in visual studio itself by just moving files around without knowing what I'm doing.
I also found something saying to move the template files, but I can't find anything in the project folder with that extension. I've done tons of Googling trying to figure this out and I found one thing saying to edit something in the solution file using notepad, but I didn't really understand it and I didn't want to mess something up worse. I went into options>projects and solutions>locations and tried setting the project location file path to the SourceCode folder path, but it still wants everything in the other folder - when I looked at the file system view in solution explorer, it still shows it's looking in the VisualStudioFiles folder.

I don't understand what the problem is - why did it seemingly pick one folder at random of the two I created and decide everything has to be in there? I even tried creating another folder within the VisualStudioFiles folder and put the source code files in there, just to see if that worked, but it still complained. h files and put the duplicates in the VisualStudioFiles folder, and when I removed the duplicates, the git changes window showed they'd been deleted from the project and when I tried building anyway, VS complained it couldn't find them, even though the original files were still there in the SourceCode folder. I did that in file explorer and it worked at first, but then after I built the project, I found it had duplicated my. h in one folder could "SourceCode" and all the other files that Visual Studio creates (project files, log files, etc.) in another folder called "VisualStudioFiles", both inside the project folder.
