I added a class then didn't need it, now it won't build my project without it. How do I fix this?

I'm building a WPF project in Visual Studio and I added a class using the File>add class technique with VS. I ended up realizing I didn't need this new class so I deleted the .cs file that it created. However, now when I try to build the project, I get an error (failure to find source file x.cs). What do I need to do so that the build doesn't expect to find the x.cs file when building?
