How to get Visual Studio 'Publish' option to delete file from bin directory?

I have a web application which, when published using the "Publish" option within Visual Studio, outputs a DLL System.Data.SQLite.dll in the bin direcotry.

When deployed, this dll causes problem so I have to delete each time after publishing.

Is there a way of automatically deleting ths file from the bin directory in what is 'published'?

SOLUTION:

I was actually referencing Elmah.dll which then pulls in System.Data.SQLite.dll automatically. The solution is to delete the System.Data.SQLite.dll from the directory from which Elmah.dll is being referenced from.

I found the solution here: Unwanted SQLite inserted in bin

Open up the Reference section under Solution Explorer, right click on the reference you would like not to publish and hit Properties (pressing F4 would do the same).

Under Properties, you will find an option named Local Copy. Set it to false. This should do the trick.
