Remove files from Xcode project

I do not know why, but somehow two files were added to project with a mistake as you can see on screenshot. How can I safely remove them from Xcode project? I've already deleted them from disk, but delete button is grayed out in Xcode interface.

delete is grayed out in xcode context menu

Just had this problem today. The fix for me (on Mac) was:

  1. Find YourProjectName.xcodeproj in finder.
  2. Right click > Show package contents.
  3. Inside there, right click on project.xcworkspace > Show package contents.
  4. Open contents.xcworkspacedata (XML format) in any text editor and manually remove the references.

Hope this helps anyone with the same issue!

I can't replicate your problem, but you could give this a shot:

Close Xcode. Right-click your .xcodeproj file, show package contents. Make a copy of your project.pbxproj somewhere as a backup, then open the original in TextEdit. Find "MyClass.h" in the file. You should find a few lines containing it; just delete the entire line each time (including the line break). Do the same for "MyClass.m". Then save, and open your project.

Do a clean of all targets and then remove the app from simulator. Finally, relaunch it.
