The changes not updating on server

I have build MVC 5 application which works fine when running via VS. When I publish it to the server first time it also works. Now I have made few correction to my css file and publish whole project again but website still see the old css file. I have removed all files from the server and tried few more times but it is still the same. When I check the css file on the server, the changes are inside the file.

I think it is related to MVC bundling as when I check the source it says that is accessing different file which is not even located on the server:

 <link href="/Content/cssmain?v=Ikj7NnMg3q9kTHR7ynWOJDQFGMZl3mtVMi_2EkOJxc41" rel="stylesheet"/>

How can I force VS to minificate my css file again?

I've tried cleaning, rebuilding but no luck

Edit: My bundle set up look like below and all files are located on the server in Content folder.

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/cssmain").Include(
                  "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
                  "~/Content/site.css",
                  "~/Content/ilightbox.css",
                  "~/Content/bannerscollection_zoominout.css"));

Many thanks

Is it just you experiencing getting the old css file loaded? Or anyone who views the site?

CDN location? External Css lib (yours or 3rd party)? unsure what you meant by "not located on server"?

Yup, it does (look like ASP.net Bundling in action) - check your Global.asax, App_Start/BundleConfig or _AppStart and see if the bundle configuration setup point to/reference the "correct" locations for your css (and or script).
