title: What is the correct way to remove resource images from a VS project?
body: <p>I have imported images through the visual studio designer to the projects resource file. Some of these images are no longer used and I want to remove them. </p>
  
  <p>However, I've tried to remove the resource images before by deleting the image file through the solution explorer and then removing the corresponding <code>&lt;data&gt;</code> element from the .resx file. However, this causes the VS designer to have a panic attack and start throwing exceptions saying it can't find the files I've just removed even though they are not referenced anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>What is the a proper way of deleting images from the resource file?</p>
