ASP.NET Where to find dll being referenced

I upgraded my MVC3 project to MVC4 without much trouble but the Web API (the reason why I did it) is not working because, apparently, there's something referencing NHibernate.

<Exception>
  <ExceptionType>System.IO.FileNotFoundException</ExceptionType>
  <Message>Could not load file or assembly 'NHibernate, Version=3.1.0.4000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aa95f207798dfdb4' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.</Message>

     at System.Web.Http.Dispatcher.HttpControllerDispatcher.SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
  </StackTrace>
</Exception>

I removed the references to NHibernate because I tried adding FunnelWeb blog to my site but I ended up with two completely different practices in the same project and I didn't like that at all.

And I don't think it's a good idea to put the NHibernate library in place again because I would hiding something I should know about.

I have tried NDepend but in no way NHibernate was found.

Note that my project is compiling and running fine. Any ideas please?

Have you tried erasing your bin directory?

The solution was the obvious one. There was a FunnelWeb crappy dll that was referencing NHibernate.
