Mvc 4 FileNotFoundException MvcSiteMapProvider

I added the assembly MvcSiteMapProvider to my project and decided not to use it. I removed the assembly but I keep getting the following error. I can't find any reference to the file and I'm not sure how this is failing. 

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\jmynsb000\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\t2dashv6\t2dashv6\Mvc.sitemap'.

Source Error:

I suspect that the MvcSiteMapProvider assembly is still living in your bin folder when you're running the project. The MvcSiteMapProvider dynamically registers itself to run some start up code during the PostApplicationStart event.

If you're running it from Visual Studio, go to the Build menu, then select "Rebuild Solution". If you're running it on a server, check the deployed bin folder for the MvcSiteMapProvider.dll assembly. If it is there, remove it.
