TFS 2010 Team Build Error

I get the following TFS Team Build Error:

Could not find a part of the path 'E:\Builds\17\NextGenIssueTracker\
    NGIT-2011Updates\Binaries\QA\_PublishedWebsites\NGIT.Test.ClientProxy_Package\
    Archive\Content\E_C\Builds\17\NextGenIssueTracker\NGIT-2011Updates\Sources\
    branches\2011Updates\NGIT.Test.ClientProxy\obj\QA\Package'.

However, I've removed the project from source control, the solution, and from my local working directory. But I'm still getting this error.

Any suggestions?

Important: I don't have access to this 'E:\Builds\17" directory, so that might be a game changer!

Re-entering a comment as an answer since it fixed the problem:

Try manually triggering a build and override the settings in the dialog box to do a full workspace clean. Looks like you've got some build artifacts still lying around.

You are running into a limitation on the maximum amount of characters that a path can have. This is a pretty well known problem with windows.

Some options available:

  1. Change the build path to something much shorter than that.
  2. Rename the solution and, potentially, projects in the solution to shorten the path.

For all intents and purposes, the first part:

 "E:\Builds\17\NextGenIssueTracker\
    NGIT-2011Updates\Binaries\QA\_PublishedWebsites\NGIT.Test.ClientProxy_Package\
    Archive\Content\E_C"

is odd.

Sounds like you need to get with your TFS administrator to ask them what the heck that is about.
