Show Missing Files

A Visual Studio extension that looks for file references in projects that refer to files that do not physically exist on the file system. It can also optionally warn about files on disk that are not included in a project.

You can trigger the extension by performing a build on the solution or an individual project.

Missing files are listed in the Error List window. Double-click on an item in the list to navigate to the relevant location in the Solution Explorer.

Right-click on one or more similar items to get a context menu with options to fix the selected warnings.
