How to totally clear a Gradle dependency (Android app)

I'm a newbie building an Android application in Android studio. I keep getting this Render error when I try to preview my layout file that looks like it traces back to the RecyclerView widget. I realized I wasn't actually using RecyclerView in my code, so I removed the line compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.0' from the dependency section in my build.gradle. But after I clean and rebuild and even delete everything from the .gradle/caches folder, I'm still getting the error. When I do a search of 'RecyclerView' in my code, I can see that there is still a package android.support.v7.recyclerview inside my app folder (even though I can't see these files in my actual directories?).

How can I fully get rid of RecyclerView?

Here is the stack trace for the error I'm seeing:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to locate mode 0 at android.view.DisplayInfo.findMode(DisplayInfo.java:458) at android.view.DisplayInfo.getMode(DisplayInfo.java:445) at android.view.Display.getRefreshRate(Display.java:648) at android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.onAttachedToWindow(RecyclerView.java:2392) at android.view.View.dispatchAttachedToWindow(View.java:15392) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchAttachedToWindow(ViewGroup.java:2953) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchAttachedToWindow(ViewGroup.java:2960) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchAttachedToWindow(ViewGroup.java:2960) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchAttachedToWindow(ViewGroup.java:2960) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchAttachedToWindow(ViewGroup.java:2960) at android.view.AttachInfo_Accessor.setAttachInfo(AttachInfo_Accessor.java:42) at com.android.layoutlib.bridge.impl.RenderSessionImpl.inflate(RenderSessionImpl.java:333) at com.android.layoutlib.bridge.Bridge.createSession(Bridge.java:429) at com.android.ide.common.rendering.LayoutLibrary.createSession(LayoutLibrary.java:389) at com.android.tools.idea.rendering.RenderTask$2.compute(RenderTask.java:548) at com.android.tools.idea.rendering.RenderTask$2.compute(RenderTask.java:533) at com.intellij.openapi.application.impl.ApplicationImpl.runReadAction(ApplicationImpl.java:966) at com.android.tools.idea.rendering.RenderTask.createRenderSession(RenderTask.java:533) at com.android.tools.idea.rendering.RenderTask.lambda$inflate$53(RenderTask.java:659) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

Any idea what is going on here?

EDIT:
Here is my build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.theprotectors.theprotectors"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 24
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner             "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),     'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:+'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.0'
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

As you said you have removed recyclerView dependency from build.gradle of your app and still you can see the package,

You can try :

1- Go to the app folder and navigate to as following given directory: G:\ABC\AndroidStudioProjects\ProjName\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android. support\recyclerview-v7\ from here delete the recyclerView's version.

2- From stack trace it is pointing to Rendering issue, so from layout design page instead of picking yourself the Android SDK for rendering choose Automatically Pick Best

3- Clean -> Re-build then Invalidate cache and restart.

After question edited

compile ('com.android.support:design:+'){
    exclude module: 'recyclerview-v7'
}

Hope this will help you.

Change 

compile 'com.android.support:design:+'

To

compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0'

The design library has the recycler view as a dependency. You also have a duplicate AppCompat. Make sure all support library versions are the same.
