Hello I know there are questions similar to this problem but I just need a detailed explanation how can I remove the fatal error LNK1104. I'm using Visual Studio 2010

        1>Build started 3/12/2016 1:52:30 PM.
        1>InitializeBuildStatus:
        1>  Touching "Debug\circle.unsuccessfulbuild".
        1>ClCompile:
        1>  All outputs are up-to-date.
        1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Users\Lamis\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\circle\Debug\circle.exe'
        1>

These are the common reasons: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ts7eyw4s(v=vs.100).aspx

I find it happens sometimes for no obivious reason - when the process has not shutdown properly(?) and restarting Visual Studio appears to be the only solution.
